Tottenham Face Tough Premier League Start as 2026/27 Fixtures Released

Tottenham will have to be at their best from the outset as the Premier League fixtures for the 2026/27 season have been confirmed. Spurs narrowly avoided relegation on the final day of the previous campaign, with West Ham dropping into the Championship instead. Manager Roberto De Zerbi masterminded the great escape, picking up 11 points from the final six games.

New Signings and Early Tests

Spurs have moved quickly to back their manager, bringing in defenders Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson on free transfers, while centre-back Jan Paul van Hecke is set to join in a deal worth £52 million. Their first test comes in the opening game with a tricky trip to London rivals Brentford, who impressed under Keith Andrews with a ninth-placed finish last season. The early run is tough, with Newcastle, Aston Villa, Manchester United, and Chelsea all before November.

Key Derby Dates

Spurs meet Premier League champions Arsenal in the first north London derby of the season on December 5 at home, with the return fixture at the Emirates on May 1. The fiercely contested derbies with Chelsea are away on October 24 and home on May 8, one week after the trip to Arsenal.

The run-in looks devilishly tough, with games against Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Aston Villa wrapped around a trip to Coventry City.
