Auckland FC will host Tottenham on Sunday in a preseason friendly at Eden Park in Auckland, NZ, with kickoff set for 3 p.m. local time. It is Auckland’s first match of the preseason, and Steve Corica will lead the club again as it opens a new build-up campaign after lifting the A-League Championship title in its second season.
For fans in the U.S., the game will not be shown live in English. Fox Deportes will carry the match, and viewers can also stream it on fubo, giving supporters a way to follow a rare summer meeting between Auckland and Tottenham even as the Premier League season edges closer. That timing matters because this is still early preseason work for both sides, and Tottenham have already started their own run with a 1-0 win over MK Dons earlier this week.
There is also more than a routine friendly feel to the visit. Tottenham arrive with Roberto De Zerbi still under close eye after back-to-back 17th-place finishes in 2024 and 2025, so even a midsummer exhibition carries some weight as the club tries to reset before the league campaign begins. Auckland, meanwhile, will be judged less on the scoreboard than on how sharp it looks in Corica’s first outing of preseason after a title-winning year.
The immediate next step is simple: Auckland FC and Tottenham meet at Eden Park on Sunday, July 26, and that kickoff will give both sides their first public read of where they are before the serious matches begin.
