Pennsylvania Sports Betting Legal Path

Pennsylvania wasted little time getting into online sports betting after the Supreme Court struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) in May of 2018. PA was the seventh state to legalize sports betting and in May of 2019 online sports betting began.

Home Team Advantage

Pennsylvania is home to many historic sports franchises from the Eagles flying to a Super Bowl in 2018, Mario & Sid with the Penguins, or David Eckstein and the Phillies, there are plenty of teams to wager on if you live in or are visiting the Keystone State.

NHL – Pittsburgh Penguins

The Penguins’ season runs from early October through April, although it can be extended into May and June if the team makes the playoffs – which has been a frequent occurrence. The Penguins made the playoffs every year from 2007-2022 and have won the Stanley Cup five times. The Penguins play at PPG Paints Arena.

NHL: Philadelphia Flyers

The Flyers’ season runs from early October through April, although it can be extended into May and June if the team makes the playoffs. Philadelphia has won two Stanley Cups, but they were back in 1974 and 1975. The Flyers play at the Wells Fargo Center.

NBA: Philadelphia 76ers

Originally the Syracuse Nationals, the 76ers were established as an NBA team in 1963. Their season runs from October through April, and potentially into May and June if the team makes the postseason. The 76ers have been successful under NBA MVP Joel Embiid (currently injured), but are looking to make a deeper postseason run. The 76ers also play at the Wells Fargo Center and their last NBA title was in 1983.

NFL: Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles’ season runs from September through early January, but they, too, are used to making the postseason. The Eagles play at Lincoln Financial Field and have only won one Super Bowl, but it was fairly recently in 2017. The Eagles made the Super Bowl in 2023, but lost to the Kansas City Chiefs. They have made the playoffs each of the past three seasons and six of the past seven.

NFL: Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers are one of the NFL’s most prestigious organizations, winning six Super Bowls, most recently in 2008 with Ben Roethlisberger at quarterback. Pittsburgh’s season goes from September to early January, although the Steelers are used to making the postseason most years under head coach Mike Tomlin. The Steelers play at Acrisure Stadium.

MLB – Philadelphia Phillies

The Phillies’ season runs from March through September, but they are also a team used to making the postseason. They have made the postseason the past two seasons and appeared in the 2022 World Series. The franchise has won two World Series titles (1980 and 2008) and plays in Citizens Bank Park.

MLB: Pittsburgh Pirates

The Pennsylvania team with the least recent success, the Pirates’ season goes from March until September – and usually no further. The Pirates play at PNC Park and last made the postseason in 2015. They have won five World Series titles, but the last one was in 1979.
