Today's game between Brentford and Tottenham Hotspur will kick off at 12:30 PM.
Brentford vs Tottenham Hotspur is available to watch live in the United States across several platforms. The TV channel and live stream options are listed below.
Brentford open their Premier League campaign at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday, August 22, as Tottenham Hotspur arrive in west London for an opening-day London derby.
The Bees come into the new season with real confidence after finishing ninth last term — their joint-best Premier League result. Keith Andrews' side were no pushovers at home, claiming scalps against Aston Villa, Manchester United, and Liverpool on their own patch.
Tottenham, by contrast, spent much of last season looking over their shoulder. Roberto De Zerbi takes charge of a club that narrowly avoided relegation, and the pressure to deliver a more convincing campaign is considerable from the first whistle.
De Zerbi has backed his vision with significant transfer activity. Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, and Jan Paul van Hecke have all arrived, and the club continues to pursue further additions, with reports linking Spurs to a bold double move for Manchester City attackers Omar Marmoush and Savinho as the window nears its close.
