Tottenham Hotspur’s Women’s First Team have added two more Spurs fixtures to their pre-season programme, with Birmingham City and Bristol City due to visit Hotspur Way later this month. It is a neat final step in the build-up to the 2026/27 Women’s Super League campaign, which begins in early September.
The first of the two matches comes on Sunday 23 August at 12noon UK time against Birmingham City, before Bristol City arrive on Sunday 30 August at 2pm UK time. Both games will be played behind closed doors at Hotspur Way and will not be shown live on SPURSPLAY.
A stronger pre-season rhythm
These Spurs fixtures extend a pre-season schedule that has already featured tests against Granada and Real Madrid. Earlier this month, Tottenham Hotspur lost 2-1 to Real Madrid during a 12-day intense training in Spain, while earlier in pre-season they beat Granada 1-0. Together, those games have given the Women’s First Team a useful range of opposition before the competitive season begins.
For a squad preparing for Sunday 6 September, when West Ham United visit Brisbane Road, the timing makes sense. The new fixtures give Tottenham another chance to tighten the details, build fitness and settle into the rhythms of a new campaign without the pressure of a live broadcast or a matchday crowd.
What the schedule tells us
When a club adds two more friendlies this close to the start of the season, it usually says something simple: there is still work to do, but there is also a clear plan. Tottenham now have a defined run of games, with Birmingham City and Bristol City fitting into a pre-season that has already included both Granada and Real Madrid.
The key question from here is whether those final checks help Tottenham arrive ready for West Ham United on 6 September. The fixtures are confirmed, the dates are set, and the next phase of preparation is now clear.
