Thomas Frank has got a tough start to life as Tottenham Hotspur head coach as the Premier League fixtures have been released for the 2025/26 season.
The Dane has been handed a three-year contract at the club after being brought in from Brentford to replace Ange Postecoglou at the north London club. Now he has discovered how the Premier League schedule will play out, aside from those games that will move thanks to the broadcast companies' decisions as well as Spurs' involvement in the Champions League as well as the Carabao Cup and then FA Cup.
While Frank will begin his competitive fixtures with the UEFA Super Cup against PSG on August 13, his Premier League era kicks off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with a home game against Scott Parker's promoted Burnley side on August 16.
However, the matches immediately take a tough turn before leading into a nightmare November. Spurs' second match under their 51-year-old head coach will see them make the trip to a hugely-reinforced Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on August 23. Then comes a tricky little run against Bournemouth at home (August 30) before the first London derby of the season at West Ham on September 13 after the first international break of the campaign.
Then comes a trip to Brighton on September 20 to make it back-to-back away games before a home clash with Wolves (September 27) to end the month. October brings trips to a noisy Elland Road and newly-promoted Leeds before Spurs welcome Aston Villa after the international break and then travel to Everton's new Hill Dickinson Stadium on October 25.
After that comes a rotten November with home games against Chelsea and Manchester United followed up by the first north London derby of the season on November 22 after the international break. The Christmas fixture this season will see Spurs travel to Crystal Palace, currently slated for December 27.
Other notable fixtures to round off 2025 are two matches against Frank's old Brentford side within the same month as Spurs welcome the Bees on December 6 and then travel to the Gtech Community Stadium to round out the year on December 30. That could yet move around the New Year period of course, as with most of the other games in the schedule.
Tottenham begin 2026 with a home game against promoted Sunderland and then another tough run comes at the end of January into February when they will play City away, United at home, Newcastle at home and then face the second north London derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on February 21.
The final four Premier League matches of the campaign in May bring a trip to Aston Villa, a home clash with Leeds followed by a late season trip to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea before Spurs finish off matters with the visit of Everton on May 24.
Here is Tottenham's fixture schedule in full for the 2025/26 season:
