It's been another summer of change at Tottenham Hotspur so far, and a busy pre-season lies ahead for the new manager and his players.
Despite the exit of the man who guided the club to their first piece of major silverware in 17 years, Spurs will hope to build on the momentum gained from that glorious night in Bilbao throughout the summer and into the new season.
We've gotten used to fresh starts in recent times, many of which have proven to be nothing more than false dawns, but there's optimism that Thomas Frank, having turned Brentford into an established Premier League outfit, will finally oversee the "painful rebuild" that Mauricio Pochettino warned us all about all those years ago.
A transfer policy that has focused on youth should be vindicated with the Dane at the helm, but supporters will hope that the squad is further emboldened by transfer market activity.
We're still some distance away from August 16 and Burnley's visit on the opening weekend of the 2025/26 Premier League season, and Frank will first have to navigate a hugely important maiden pre-season in order to best prepare his squad for the fresh campaign.
Here's Tottenham's confirmed 2025 summer schedule.
Tottenham 2025 full pre-season schedule

While Brentford toured the United States under Frank's watch, the Bees' summers generally revolved around domestic friendlies and a European training camp. It's a little more hectic in these parts—not to sound overly patronising—with Spurs jetting off to the Far East at the end of July for a pair of fixtures against Premier League outfits.
Before that, though, Frank's unofficial managerial bow arrives at Kenilworth Road against a Luton Town team that have suffered back-to-back relegations and are now playing in the third tier of English football. Our first friendly of the summer is scheduled for 26 July at 15:00 (BST).
I'm not a huge fan of facing domestic rivals in pre-season, and many were critical of the decision to stage the first-ever North London Derby overseas. I understand the complaints, but it does offer those who may otherwise never get the chance to see this iconic fixture in the flesh. We'll be facing Arsenal in Hong Kong on 31 July before taking on Newcastle in the home capital of Son Heung-min, Seoul, three days later.
There was seemingly an agreement in the Harry Kane transfer to play Bayern Munich every summer until the world caves in, and this time we're heading to Munich for a friendly against the Bundesliga champions. Hopefully, that'll prepare us for our first experience of the UEFA Super Cup the following week.
A frightened and vulnerable Paris Saint Germain meet Frank's showtime Lilywhites in Udine on August 13—three days before our Premier League opener. As it stands, no fixtures are scheduled to take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before the season starts.
