Tottenham Hotspur FC

Tottenham Hotspur play in the Premier League at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (62,850) in Tottenham, north London, England.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium opened in April 2019 and is the largest club ground in London. It replaced White Hart Lane, which Spurs had occupied since 1899, and sits 50 metres from that ground's former site. The new stadium includes a synthetic grass layer beneath the natural turf that can be rolled out for NFL fixtures, which Spurs host annually under a 10-year agreement. The architecture is deliberate and modern in a way that White Hart Lane's Victorian bones never allowed.

Tottenham's most defining historical moment is the 1961 Double under Bill Nicholson, when they won the First Division and the FA Cup in the same season, becoming the first club of the twentieth century to do so. Jimmy Greaves, who arrived from AC Milan in December 1961 and scored 37 goals in 41 league matches across 1962-63, is the most gifted forward the club has produced. Greaves scored 357 First Division goals in 516 matches, the highest rate in the division's post-war history.

The Mauricio Pochettino period from 2014 to 2019 produced a team that finished second in 2016-17 with 86 points, a total that would have won the league in most previous seasons. The 2019 Champions League final, lost to Liverpool in Madrid, was the closest Spurs have come to a European trophy. The defeat shaped the next half decade.

Ange Postecoglou arrived from Celtic in 2023 and imposed an attacking, high-defensive-line system that made Tottenham one of the more watchable sides in the division in his first half-season. Son Heung-min, the South Korean captain who has been the squad's most consistent performer since 2015, provides the connection between the Pochettino era and whatever follows. Dominic Solanke, signed for £65 million in 2024, leads the attack.

Tottenham play on GMT in winter and BST (UTC+1) in summer. A Saturday 12:30 kickoff is 21:30 in Seoul, 20:30 in Tokyo, and 07:30 in New York. Son Heung-min's fanbase in South Korea means that Korean supporters checking London time for early lunchtime fixtures are planning late evenings around a match that starts in the middle of the English morning.
