Tottenham Hotspur’s 2024/25 campaign has ended, but already we are turning our eyes to next season, with the club announcing another preseason fixture:
We are pleased to confirm that we will face Newcastle United in Korea this summer as part of the 2025 @CoupangPlay Series.
Details on the date, venue and tickets for the match will be announced in due course.

As per the announcement, Spurs will take on Newcastle in South Korea, with further details to be confirmed. This match is now the fourth preseason game in which Spurs will compete - all of which will be against Champions League opposition.
There’s no sleepwalking through preseason this year.
The match against Newcastle aside, a bizarre North London derby was announced back in March, and Spurs also have an August match lined up against Bundesliga champions (and Harry Kane retirement home) Bayern Munich. There’s then the small matter of the UEFA Super Cup, in which Spurs will take on the winner of the Champions League: one of Inter Milan or PSG.
This all paints the picture of an intense run-in to the 25/26 season - something I’m not sure is needed after the brutal intensity of the last several months. At the same time, this is a fantastic marketing opportunity for the club, with captain Son Heung-min returning to his home country now a club legend as well as a national one.
For now, let’s just bask in the success of a trophy-winning season, before dreaming longingly about the next Spurs youth product to erupt from nowhere in preseason.
