Tottenham Hotspur
A view of Wembley Stadium

Tottenham Hotspur will play all their home games at Wembley Stadium, the national stadium for England next season. They are building a new stadium, the Premier League club have confirmed.

Tottenham Hotspur will play their home games at Wembley for the duration of the 2017-18 season.


Tottenham Hotspur aim to move into their new 61,000 capacity stadium at White Hart Lane for the start of the 2018-19 campaign.

“The Lane means a huge amount to each and every one of us and we needed to gain greater certainty on the delivery of the new stadium before we made the final decision to commence with the decommissioning of our iconic, historic home for some 118 years,” chairman Daniel Levy told Spurs’ official website.

“We shall ensure that we give the Lane a fitting farewell when we play our last match here on May 14.”

Wembley will be our home for a season and then we shall return to what will be one of the best stadiums of its kind and the most unique in the world, playing host to NFL games too – a stadium that will be key to our future growth and success,” he said.

“Both on and off the pitch this is an incredibly exciting time in the history of our club.

“Our stadium scheme and associated developments represent an unprecedented level of private investment in North London.

“Tottenham and its diverse cultures, rocked by two riots in 30 years, deserves to see progress and change.

“We are working hard to deliver greater economic benefits to those living right on our doorstep and to create a place where local communities can study, have new homes, find work and thrive.”

Levy added: “I am particularly proud that this announcement comes in a week that saw yet another Jobs Fair held by the club – this time for veterans of the armed forces – and that we can also mark this occasion with the announcement that we have to date delivered 1000 jobs as a result of our activities and investment.

“Post the riots in 2011 we committed ourselves to playing our part in the regeneration of Tottenham. The ripple effect from our stadium at the heart of regeneration plans across more than 120 acres is evident.

“I urge the Mayor, TfL [Transport for London] and Haringey Council, to support our efforts and to provide a focus on Tottenham to ensure that this incredible opportunity that the stadium brings is maximised for future generations.”
