How to Watch Tottenham Hotspur This Season: Key Fixtures, Dates & More

Tottenham Hotspur head into the 2026/27 season with plenty to look forward to, as Roberto De Zerbi prepares for his first full campaign as head coach and a number of exciting new arrivals bolster the squad.

There has also been a change in the Spurs dressing room, with James Maddison taking over as club captain following Cristian Romero’s departure for Atletico Madrid.

Maddison will lead a squad that includes a mixture of established Tottenham players and new arrivals, with Sando Tonali, Mateus Fernandes and Jan Paul van Hecke among those joining during the summer.

For supporters looking to watch Tottenham at home this season, the fixture list included visits from Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United, alongside a number of other Premier League opponents and an opening Carabao Cup tie against Charlton Atheltic.

When is Tottenham’s first home game?

Tottenham’s first home fixture of the 2026/27 season is against Charlton Athletic in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday 26 August, with kick-off at 7.45pm.

The first Premier League fixture at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium follows three days later, when Newcastle United visit on Saturday 29 August for a 5.30pm kick-off.

It starts a run of home league fixtures that also includes Everton and Aston Villa in September.

Roberto De Zerbi begins his first full season

Roberto De Zerbi took over as Tottenham head coach in March 2026 and now has a full season ahead of him.

The Italian previously managed Brighton in the Premier League and has also coached in Italy, Ukraine and France. His Tottenham side will be looking to establish his style of football while competing across the domestic schedule.

The 2026/27 season will also be De Zerbi’s first opportunity to work with the squad over a full pre-season, following a summer that has been several additions made to the team.

James Maddison takes the captain’s armband

James Maddison is Tottenham’s new club captain following Cristian Romero’s move to Atletico Madrid.

The midfielder has been an important figure since joining Spurs from Leicester City in 2023 and now takes on the responsibility of leading the team following Romero’s departure.

Maddison will be joined by a number of new faces in the squad, while Micky van de Ven has also committed his future to Tottenham by signing a new long-term contract.

The Netherlands international remains an important part of Spurs’ defence and will likely partner fellow Dutchman Jan Paul van Hecke.

Tottenham’s new signings to watch

Sando Tonali has become the club’s record transer after arriving from the north east for a reported £100m fee.

The Italy international joined from Newcastle United after a spell on Tyneside that included winning the Carabao Cup in 2025.

That is a competition Tottenham will be keen to perform well in this season, having last lifted the trophy in 2008 when Ledley King captain Spurs to victory over Chelsea.

Tottenham begin their 2026/27 Carabao Cup campaign at home to Charlton Atheltic.

Tonali is joined by Mateus Fernandes, who adds another option in midfield, while Jan Paul van Hecke arrives in defence after previously working under De Zerbi at Brighton.

Andy Robertson has also joined Tottenham, bringing Premier League and international experience to the squad.

With new arrivals competing for places alongside established members of the team, there will be plenty of interest in how De Zerbi puts his starting XI together during the season.
