Under new head coach Thomas Frank and with the departure of club legend Son Heung-min, a new-look Tottenham side faces newly-promoted Burnley in their season opener.
August 15, 2025: The Premier League season for 2025/26 will begin on Saturday, August 16, with a thrilling match between Tottenham Hotspur and Burnley, who just moved up to the league. The game will take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The game starts at 7:30 PM IST and is the first game of the new season for both teams.
The game is more than just the opening of the season for Tottenham. The team’s head coach right now is Thomas Frank. This is the first time he has been in charge of a Premier League game. He took over when Ange Postecoglou left without warning. Since the summer, when Son Heung-min, the captain and greatest player for a long time, left for MLS, the club has changed a lot. A new player named Mohammed Kudus will take his position. He used to play for West Ham United.
The Spurs want to keep winning, even though James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski are hurt. In the UEFA Super Cup, they had a good plan for how to attack back.
Tottenham has a good record against Burnley, having won 54 of the 124 occasions they have played each other. Burnley might use this high-stakes encounter to start the season off right and make a statement when they return to the top level.
Star Sports will carry the game live on TV in India, and JioHotstar will stream it live on OTTplay Premium.
