Pre-season friendlies

We are delighted to announce that we shall be live streaming our first three Men’s pre-season friendlies on Spurs TV for free. Further details on how to stream the matches will follow.

This is the perfect chance for our fans to see how the team is shaping up in the first games of Nuno Espirito Santo’s reign.

Our first three pre-season matches have now been confirmed as follows:
• Leyton Orient (a), Saturday 17 July, KO 15:00
• Colchester United (a), Wednesday 21 July, KO 19:45
• MK Dons (a), Wednesday 28 July, KO 19:45

We shall also be taking on Chelsea away (Wednesday 4 August) and Arsenal at home (Sunday 8 August) as part of The Mind Series - raising vital funds and awareness for the UK’s leading mental health charity, as well as our own Foundation. Broadcast and ticketing details on both of these matches will follow.

Open Training

We are excited to bring fans the first open training session to be held at our new stadium - giving fans the chance to watch our players being put through their paces by the new coaching team ahead of the season.

The Open training session will provide an opportunity for many fans to re-familiarise themselves with the stadium ahead of returning for matches.

Details on tickets for the event will follow in due course.

Official Supporters’ Club Day

If you are a member of one of our UK-based Official Supporters’ Clubs, Friday 6 August* is a date you need in your diary.

For years, we have loved delivering special activations for the Official Supporters’ Clubs based in the cities we have visited on tour overseas - now it’s time for our UK clubs to take advantage.

We shall be holding a 5-a-side tournament during the day to find out which club can match their fantastic support with performances on the pitch!

Then, in the evening, Supporters’ Club members will be invited to the stadium for an evening in the company of legendary former captains, Ledley King and Gary Mabbutt.

The pair will be taking part in a live Q&A followed by an autograph signing session - start getting your questions ready!

UK Supporters’ Club chairpersons will be contacted via email with details on how they can sign their clubs up for the events.

Train like a pro

We shall be offering our One Hotspur Junior Members an exclusive chance to join an hour-long virtual training session being delivered by our Player Development Programme coaches.

Our team of highly-qualified coaches will deliver the session based on the methods used within the Club’s Academy.

You will get a unique insight into what life is like for a young player at Spurs, while developing your football skills and technique in a fun and engaging way.

The parents of our Junior Members will shortly be receiving an email with details on when the session will be taking place and how they can sign their child up.

Throughout pre-season, our Player Development Programme will be going on the road, with sample sessions being delivered with youth football clubs in East London, Colchester and Milton Keynes – in line with our pre-season fixtures - as part of our wider talent ID pathway.

There will also be football skills zones set up at the stadium for our open training event and Arsenal home friendly for younger fans attending to get involved in.
