Tottenham have been forced to extend their cut off date for season ticket renewals with fans still unsure as to whether they will be playing in the Premier League or the Championship

Tottenham have been forced to extend their season ticket renewal period so that fans "have full clarity of next season" as relegation remains a genuine possibility.

The north Londoners would usually seek to have their season ticket holders renew ahead of time, but have had to keep it open for an "extended period" with fans no doubt wanting to know whether they will be watching Premier League football or not.

Tottenham's demise has been stark with fan anger mounting as the weeks have gone on. Those on the Spurs side of north London have to pay the second highest amount for a season ticket across the top flight - for which they have not got value for money.

Tottenham have won just two of their 15 home games this season, losing nine. Their last home win was over Burnley on December 6 and their last game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, a loss to Crystal Palace, had fans leaving at half-time in their thousands.

As a result, the club's bosses have had to give fans extra time before deciding on whether or not to remain season ticket holders. An email to supporters read: "As previously communicated, General Admission Season Ticket renewals for 2026/27 open today March 12). In line with our Ticketing Charter published in March 2024, we are committed to opening renewals by no later than 15 March each year.

"We recognise the seriousness of the current league position of our men's team and, following discussions with our Fan Advisory Board and the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust, can confirm the renewal period for 2026/27 will now remain open for an extended period until Sunday June 7 to ensure fans have full clarity of next season before renewing."

The new date is two weeks after the season's final game against Everton at home, after which Tottenham will know whether they have retained their Premier League status or not. As things stand they are a point above the bottom three with nine games remaining.

The issue for Tottenham is they are the top-flight side with the worst form, winless in their last 11 outings. Already they have changed their manager with Thomas Frank being shown the door, but his replacement Igor Tudor has endured a horror start to life in the dugout.

Before the season is out Tottenham need to play relegation rivals Nottingham Forest and Leeds - games that could be hugely defining in who stays up. They also face basement side Wolves, who have been cut adrift at the bottom.
