Tottenham kicks off the 2025/26 Premier League campaign against Burnley. The newly promoted side will be looking to teach Thomas Frank a thing or two, but Tommy will have already rehearsed those lessons a million times over in his head.
Burnley is managed by a pretty familiar face, as far as Tottenham is concerned. Scott Parker manages the Clarets, and he led them back to the Premier League, where he'll wish to stay. Given the poor history of promoted clubs in their first Premier League season back, his luck might be thin, but never say never in the Premier League.
As far as the Premier League is concerned, Tottenham cannot get any worse. If they drop any places from last season, they'll be relegated.
Of course, Tottenham heads into this season as Europa League champions, though. They were painstakingly close to being Super Cup champions too, so Frank has already proven he can compete with the big fish.
Look, the result wasn't flattering for Tottenham in the Super Cup. They would've much preferred to hold their lead, obviously. However, there were certainly bright moments and reason for Tottenham fans to be optimistic heading into the new season.
With a new manager but a relatively similar squad, Spurs hope to start this season on winning ways. Here's how you can watch action live.
How to watch Tottenham vs Burnley
Tottenham vs Burnley will not be televised in the UK and Ireland. However, for those who wish to listen along, BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra will be providing live commentary.
Tottenham vs Burnley kicks off at 15:00 local time, which explains why the game is not available to watch in the UK and Ireland. Known colloquially as the "3pm blackout," it's a rule which prevents any game from being shown during this time slot, and extends until 17:15 (hence why most Saturday games kick off at 17:30).
In the USA, Tottenham vs Burnley can be streamed on Peacock. There will also be live commentary in the States, courtesy of SiriusXM FC.
In Australia, this match will be shown on Stan Sport.
In Canada, this game can only be streamed. It can either be streamed on DAZN or FuboTV.
