Ipswich Town’s pre-season visit to Tottenham Hotspur has been confirmed for Saturday, August 22.
News of the potential game was revealed earlier this week when the fixture was posted in error at the Tottenham end, but both clubs have now confirmed the game.
The match at Spurs’ new home will kick-off at 3pm but will be played behind-closed-doors due to ongoing the coronavirus pandemic.
Town fans will have the option to stream the game live, though, with the Premier League club offering individual passes to watch the game for £10 as part of their N17 service. The broadcast is in high definition - full details here.
