• Coronavirus has caused almost every major sports league to suspend play
• See which sports are still on-the-go and bettable at online sportsbooks
• The table below will be updated throughout the COVID-19 pandemic

Editor’s note: updates to this page stopped on June 17th, 2020, the date the English Premier League returned.

March 12th may  go down in sports history as “Black Thursday”. The coronavirus pandemic has led to the suspension or cancelation of almost every major sports league.

The NBA, NHL, and MLB have all gone dark, leaving action junkies scrambling to find something, anything, to bet on.

While it is not, under any circumstances, financially wise to wager on sports you aren’t familiar with, the table below details which sports are still being played and can be wagered on at online sportsbooks. Note that the list below is limited to sports and sport-like activities. It does not include new betting markets like the weather, lottery, and financial markets.

Which Sports Can You Still Bet on During Coronavirus Pandemic?

The list above will be updated regularly as long as the coronavirus pandemic endures.

SBD’s futures trackers will continue to be updated during this hiatus as well. Leagues have not “canceled” their seasons, per se, merely suspended them. Everyone is holding out hope that champions will be crowned in 2020.
