Youth cup finals to be broadcast on SPURSPLAY - subscribe today!

Our Academy is gearing up for two Premier League Cup finals – and you can watch both on SPURSPLAY, our home of live and on-demand video!
First up, our Under-17s take on Nottingham Forest at the City Ground next Wednesday (19 April) followed by our Under-18s up against Aston Villa at Villa Park on Thursday 4 May. Both finals kick off at 7pm.
The two teams reached their respective finals in dramatic style. The Under-17s looked well on their way 2-0 up against Chelsea in the semi-final at Hotspur Way only for the Blues to level, take the game into extra time and then forge ahead 3-2. However, Jamie Donley levelled from the penalty spot to take the tie into a shoot-out, which we duly won thanks to successful strikes from Donley, Oliver Irow, Tyrese Hall, Kieran Morgan, Damola Ajayi and Alfie Dorrington.
Meanwhile, our Under-18s - largely comprising the same set of players - left it late in their semi-final against Sheffield United as Rio Kyerematen struck a sensational 89th-minute winner in the snow at the Sheffield United Academy.
With this weekend's visit of Fulham Under-18s also set to be broadcast on SPURSPLAY, the two cup finals will be the 42nd and 43rd fixtures streamed live on the platform already this season - and another three are confirmed for the next few weeks.
Last week, we also announced that our pre-season friendly with West Ham United on Tuesday 18 July in Perth, Australia, will also be streamed live on SPURSPLAY. As will all of our Asia-Pacific Tour 2023 matches - details to be confirmed.
