Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

The basics

Enjoy the exhilarating ambience of a league game day at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. If you're not a season ticket holder, you can book match tickets ahead of your visit online to guarantee entry. Besides Premier League (England's top league) fixtures, the stadium also hosts NFL games, which are played on an artificial surface hidden beneath the retractable grass soccer pitch.
