The match schedule for UEFA EURO 2028 UK & Ireland - including matches that will be played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - has tonight been announced.
Our home was named in October 2023 as one of the nine host venues for the Tournament, which begins at the National Stadium of Wales, Cardiff, on Friday 9 June, 2028, and reaches its conclusion with the Final at Wembley Stadium on Sunday 9 July, 2028.
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will host five matches in total across the tournament – four at the group stage and one at the Round of 16 knockout stage. Confirmed dates of the matches to be played in N17 are as follows:
Monday 12th June, 2028: Match 8 (Group Stage)
Thursday 15th June, 2028: Match 17 (Group Stage)
Sunday 18th June, 2028: Match 26 (Group Stage)
Wednesday 21st June, 2028: Match 34 (Group Stage)
Monday 26th June, 2028: Match 42 (Round of 16)
Qualification will take place between March 2027 and March 2028, following which the draw for the Tournament itself will be made. Kick-off times and teams involved will be confirmed after the final draw.
Tonight’s Tournament launch celebrates the start of the countdown to what will be a festival of football – the largest ever sporting event jointly staged by the co-host nations.
With less than 1000 days to go until the Tournament kicks-off, the launch marks the unveiling of the official UEFA EURO 2028 brand, including the Host Nation and City logos and stadium illustrations.
The brand was revealed in spectacular fashion tonight at exactly 20:28 on the giant Piccadilly Lights screens in the heart of London’s iconic Piccadilly Circus. Simultaneously, all around the UK and Ireland, the new logos were showcased in Host Cities, including on the exterior screens of our stadium.
Under the theme ‘We Speak Football’, the Tournament brand celebrates the fans who express the universal language of football and their love of the game through the famous cheers, chants and sounds that ring around stadia every week.
Following an independent assessment, it is anticipated UEFA EURO 2028 will generate up to £3.6 billion (€4.1 billion) of socio-economic benefits for the UK and Ireland, including job creation, regional prosperity and direct expenditure from international visitors to the Tournament.
Local businesses, suppliers and communities within Host Cities will see direct economic benefits, while dedicated training and volunteering initiatives will enhance skills development and open pathways into employment across the regions.
The UK Government, Scottish Government, Welsh Government and Government of Ireland will collectively invest up to £740m to ensure the event is safe, secure and offers a world-class experience for fans and communities across the UK and Ireland. Investments will additionally be dedicated to social impact initiatives that will extend the benefits beyond the Host Cities before, during and after the Tournament. Social impact plans will be delivered by local stakeholders in each Host Nation to harness the power of sport and culture, bring communities together and inspire positive change.
It builds upon the existing socio-economic impact Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and its increased number of major events has had on one of London’s most deprived communities since opening in April 2019. A recent study by EY found that, through increased events and activities at the stadium, the Club contributes around £900m of gross output to London's economy, generating an additional £478m of GVA (Gross Value Added) in London.
The report also highlighted a contribution of:
£344m GVA (£296m in Haringey specifically) to the tri-Borough area of Haringey, Enfield and Waltham Forest
An estimation that the Club’s socio-economic impact will continue to grow in the years to come, with an estimated £585m GVA and 4,300 jobs expected to be supported during the 2026/27 season
Vinai Venkatesham, CEO, Tottenham Hotspur, said: “UEFA EURO 2028 will be an unforgettable summer of football and a landmark moment for the area of Tottenham - bringing people together from across Europe to our local neighbourhood, inspiring future generations and creating long-lasting economic benefits.
“Tonight’s launch is being celebrated across the country and we want our fans to join us in feeling immense pride at bringing the continent’s biggest festival of football to N17 - with less than 1000 days to go, we will be working closely with our local partners to ensure everything is in place to deliver a memorable and enjoyable experience for every visitor to Tottenham during the Tournament.”
David Lammy, MP for Tottenham, said: "Spurs has always been and continues to be a wonderful source of prosperity and excitement within our north London home. I am delighted that the club will serve as a host venue at Euro 2028 in what will be an historic celebration of the beautiful game. I would like to offer a huge thank you to everyone who has so far played a role on this important journey and I look forward to helping ensure that our community reaps the benefits of such a wonderful occasion."
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “London is the sporting capital of the world and I am delighted that we will be hosting UEFA EURO 2028. Our city is home to two of the best and most iconic football venues in the world - Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Wembley Stadium - and there is no doubt that London will provide the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable summer of football, as we work together to build a healthier, more prosperous city for everyone.”
Cllr Peray Ahmet, Leader, Haringey Council and Andy Donald, Chief Executive, Haringey Council, said: “It is amazing news that Tottenham is one of the host venues for UEFA Euro 2028. We are so proud to be part of one of the biggest global events on the sporting calendar and it truly puts our borough on the map.
“We want to say a big congratulations to Tottenham for being the only stadium apart from Wembley to stage games in London and we will be welcoming people from across Europe into Haringey to see everything that we have to offer and the benefits this will bring to our local businesses. This will mean so much for the people of Tottenham and we should be proud of the fact that the whole world will be watching us.”
