Thomas Frank, the new head coach of Tottenham Hotspur, is set for a challenging start to the 2025/26 Premier League season. The Danish manager, who recently signed a three-year contract with Spurs after leaving Brentford, will face a demanding fixture list. Frank's competitive debut will be in the UEFA Super Cup against PSG on August 13, but his Premier League journey begins at home against Scott Parker's newly-promoted Burnley side on August 16 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
However, the fixtures quickly become more difficult, culminating in a daunting November. The second match under the 51-year-old manager will see Spurs travel to a significantly strengthened Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on August 23. This is followed by a potentially tricky encounter with Bournemouth at home (August 30) and then the season's first London derby at West Ham on September 13, following the initial international break of the campaign.

Following this, the team will head to Brighton on September 20 for consecutive away games before a home match against Wolves on September 27. October sees them travelling to Elland Road and newly-promoted Leeds, followed by a game against Aston Villa after the international break, and then a trip to Everton's new Hill Dickinson Stadium on October 25.
A challenging November awaits with home matches against Chelsea and Manchester United, culminating in the season's first north London derby on November 22 post the international break. The festive fixture will see Spurs journeying to Crystal Palace, currently scheduled for December 27.
Rounding off 2025 are two notable fixtures against Frank's former Brentford side within the same month. Spurs host the Bees on 6th December and then visit the Gtech Community Stadium on December 30.
These dates could potentially shift around the New Year period, as is common with most other games in the schedule. Spurs kick off 2026 with a home match against promoted Sunderland. A tough run awaits at the end of January into February when they play City away, United at home, Newcastle at home, and then the second north London derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 21st February.
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.
