Wow, August already?
You know what that means - Tottenham Hotspur football. But for real this time!
We’re only a few weeks out from Tottenham playing meaningful football, which begins against PSG in the UEFA Super Cup on 13 August. For those who need a reminder, Spurs earnt the right to play in the game because they won the Europa League!
We still have two friendlies to get through first though - Newcastle and Bayern. Maybe that’ll give us a better look of what Thomas Frank’s side will look like this
season.
And then, after a luxurious three days off from PSG, Spurs will open their 2025-26 Premier League campaign against Scott Parker’s Burnely. It’s not an easy first match of the season, but hopefully the stadium is pretty loud.
And then two big tests: The first at Man City, and the second at Bournemouth.
Here’s a look at the August calendar:
Friendlies: Newcastle (3 August); Bayern Munich (7 August)
Super Cup: PSG (13 August)
Premier League: Burnley (16 August), at Manchester City (23 August), Bournemouth (30 August)
(I haven’t seen the WSL league schedule released yet, so unfortunately we cannot look ahead to the Tottenham Hotspur Women’s squad right now).
