Spurs begin European journey against Azerbaijani champions
Tottenham begin their Europa League campaign against Qarabag this week.
Manager Ange Postecoglou is embracing the challenge of trying to end the long trophy drought at Spurs, having talked up his track record of lifting silverware in his second season at every club he’s managed.
Still, Postecoglou has been dealt some difficult fixtures in the revamped League phase this season.
After hosting the Azerbaijani champions, they face the likes of Galatasaray, Roma and Rangers in what looks like a tricky draw.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.
Tottenham vs Qarabag is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off time on Thursday, September 26, 2024.
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London will host.
TV channel: The game will be broadcast on TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate.
Live stream: Subscribers will be able to watch on a live stream via the Discovery+ app.

Richarlison and Wilson Odobert remain sidelined for Spurs for a game which should see Ange Postecoglou make a few changes.
Radu Dragusin will come into defence, and should be joined by the likes of Ben Davies. Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall will also expect some minutes along Pape Sarr in midfield, while Dominic Solanke will likely still lead the line up top.
While certainly not an easy game, and one Spurs have no excuse not to win given it’s at home. The win over Brentford was much-improve and Spurs have more than enough to secure all three points, as long as Ange Postecoglou doesn’t make wholesale changes.
Tottenham to win, 2-1.
