Following their stalemate with the Magpies on Sunday, Frank’s squad is travelling to Bavaria to face Bundesliga champions Bayern at the Allianz Arena in the Telekom Cup.
Bayern, meanwhile, kicked off their own pre-season action by beating French side Lyon on Saturday. That came after a matchless month for Vincent Kompany’s team, who reached the quarter-finals of this summer’s Club World Cup before losing to finalists Paris Saint-Germain.
After this, Spurs will take on Champions League PSG in the Super Cup on August 13, at Italy’s Stadio Friuli, before hosting Burnley for their 2025-26 Premier League campaign opener.
Date, kick-off time and venue
The match will take place at the Allianz Arena in Munich.

Bayern Munich vs Tottenham team news
It’s unclear if Palhinha will be ready to feature against his parent club come Thursday, and Dier has since departed Munich for Monaco, but Kane and Tel were both involved in their respective sides’ friendlies at the weekend and should play a part this week.
Dominic Solanke – who has been out since the pre-season opener against Reading – may return to replace Richarlison up top after dealing with an ankle injury in recent weeks, with Frank saying last week that his first-choice striker “should be fit” to face Bayern.
As for Bayern, Kane, Kingsley Coman, Dayot Upamecano and Manuel Neuer are all in contention to feature alongside the likes of Joshua Kimmich, Jonathan Tah, Serge Gnabry, Michael Olise and Luis Diaz.
Jamal Musiala remains a long-term absentee, though, having undergone surgery in July on the fractured leg and broken and dislocated ankle he suffered at the Club World Cup.

Bayern Munich vs Tottenham prediction
Bayern will be hoping to build momentum quickly ahead of the new season. Thursday’s match aside, they have only one more friendly remaining before the German Super Cup final against VfB Stuttgart on August 16, with the start of their Bundesliga title defence against RB Leipzig coming less than a week later.
But will their lack of pre-season minutes leave them underprepared to face Frank’s new-look Spurs?
Spurs, though dealing with the losses of a few key men, have shown promise under their new boss so far in their friendlies, and Solanke’s potential return could provide a clinical touch up front that the likes of Richarlison and Tel have struggled to offer in his absence.
Spurs will also no doubt be keen to finally chalk up a first victory against this opponent in decades, but they’ll certainly have their work cut out for them at the back given the breadth of attacking options Bayern can call upon.
Head to head (h2h) history and results
Bayern is an opponent Tottenham have often struggled to match, with the north Londoners last winning this tie back in 1983, during the third round of the Uefa Cup – a tournament Spurs would go on to win early the following year.
