Tottenham return to Premier League action as they face Burnley in their season opener, with Thomas Frank aiming to start his tenure on a winning note. Here’s how to watch the clash between Tottenham and Burnley.
Tottenham Hotspur are back in Premier League action for the first time since their final league outing of the 2024/25 season against Brighton and Hove Albion.
That match ended in a heavy 4-1 defeat, a result that summed up a campaign to forget as Spurs recorded their worst-ever Premier League finish, ending up in 17th place.
With Thomas Frank now in charge, the hope is for a fresh start and a significant improvement in domestic form, and a win on matchday one would be the perfect way to set the tone for the campaign ahead.
When and where is the game?
The match will take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, 16 August 2025, with kick-off scheduled for 3:00 PM (UK time).
