Tottenham to face Getafe in preseason friendly on August 8

Tottenham Hotspur will play a preseason friendly match against Getafe CF on August 8 at Hotspur Way. This match adds to Spurs' busy schedule ahead of the 2026/27 season, which includes six additional fixtures, a match against Chelsea in Sydney the week prior. Getafe, who finished seventh in La Liga last season, will present a tough challenge for Tottenham, especially given their physical style of play. Concerns are raised regarding player safety, drawing parallels to past incidents in preseason matches. The clubs have met only once before, with Spurs suffering a defeat nearly 20 years ago.
