Tottenham remain firmly in the race for a UEFA Women’s Champions League place as they prepare for a decisive stretch of the Women’s Super League in 2026. After an encouraging first half of the season, the London side is determined to maintain momentum and challenge for a top-three finish.

The so-called “Londrinas” have been one of the positive stories of the WSL campaign, showing consistency and competitiveness against some of the league’s strongest teams.

How Tottenham’s 2025 campaign unfolded

Tottenham enjoyed a strong end to 2025, with the opening months of the 2025–26 season delivering impressive results and raising expectations among supporters. The team briefly broke into the WSL top three during the early rounds, highlighting their progress and growing ambition.

However, a slight dip in form towards the final matches of the year saw Spurs lose ground in the table. Despite that slowdown, their overall campaign remains solid.

After 11 matches, Tottenham sit in fifth place with 20 points, having recorded six wins, two draws and three defeats. The position keeps them within touching distance of the Champions League places as the season enters a crucial phase.

Key challenges and expectations for 2026

January will be pivotal for Tottenham’s European ambitions. The club faces a series of league fixtures that could define their season, with matches against Leicester City, West Ham and bottom-placed Liverpool offering valuable opportunities to collect points and climb the standings.

Alongside their WSL commitments, Tottenham must also balance their domestic cup ambitions. The team will take on Leicester City in a decisive Women’s FA Cup knockout tie, adding further importance to squad depth and rotation.

Tottenham’s next match

Tottenham return to Women’s Super League action in Round 12, where they will face Leicester City on January 11. The fixture represents a key opportunity for Spurs to start 2026 on a positive note and strengthen their push towards the top three.
