World Cup fever is dissipating, and Tottenham Hotspur's 2026/27 campaign has come into view.
After two woeful domestic campaigns, the second of which almost led to relegation, excitement is building in N17 heading into Roberto De Zerbi's first full season at the helm. And it's not just because the Italian is leading the way; Spurs have also been busy in the transfer market, meaning De Zerbi will have the chance to test out his shiny new toys throughout the summer.
For supporters, there's the chance to catch an early glimpse of our potentially transformative new arrivals long before the new season gets underway.
We've got an extensive summer schedule to enjoy, including a tour down under. Here are all the details you need to know about Spurs' 2026 preseason.

Players were back at Hotspur Way on 10 July for the start of preseason, with those away at the World Cup enjoying some much-needed respite. They'll team-up with the rest of the squad in due course, including new signing Jan Paul van Hecke.
De Zerbi will put the players he has available through their paces with a behind-closed-doors friendly against League One outfit MK Dons at the training ground on 22 July.
Then, we're off on tour. Spurs have enjoyed many of their recent summers in the Far East, but are going the extra mile this time around. We're first heading to Auckland, New Zealand, for a friendly against Auckland FC at the iconic Eden Park on 26 July, then making the relatively short trip back across to Australia for friendlies against Sydney FC (29 July) and London rivals Chelsea (1 August) in Sydney.
After wrapping up our three-game slate down under, we'll return for another two friendlies on home soil before the start of the Premier League season.
Spurs are scheduled to face La Liga side Getafe at Hotspur Way on 8 August, then Hoffenheim the following Saturday (15 August). That'll be our first outing at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium since João Palhinha saved the Lilywhites on the final day of last season.
How to watch Tottenham's preseason on TV & live stream
Once again, all of Tottenham's preseason friendlies, including the behind-closed-doors fixtures against MK Dons, Getafe and Hoffenheim, will be streamed on subscription service SPURSPLAY.
You'll thus be getting access to seven matches before the start of the season, with the £45 annual subscription (£35 for One Hotspur Members) also including live coverage of home U18s and U21s fixtures, as well as selected Women's first-team matches in 2026/27.
There are alternative options around the world for some of Spurs' preseason friendlies, including the clash with Chelsea in Sydney. For example, DAZN is streaming the match in Japan and Germany, while Paramount+ is providing coverage in Australia.
