Tottenham will begin their Europa League group-stage campaign against LASK at home later this month after Uefa confirmed the fixtures for the first six rounds of the competition.

Spurs were drawn in Group J of the tournament in Switzerland on Friday, alongside opponents Ludogorets, LASK and Royal Antwerp.

Bulgarian club Ludogorets have history against English opposition in Europe, having shared a group with Liverpool in the 2014/15 Champions League and Arsenal in the 2016/17 edition of the competition.

Austria’s LASK, meanwhile, were comfortably beaten by Manchester United in the Europa League round of 16 last season – 7-1 losers on aggregate.

Royal Antwerp are making their debut in the group stage of the competition, having won the Belgian Cup last term.

Matchday 1 of the group stage takes place on 22 October, with the second round of fixtures following on 29 October, when Spurs will play Royal Antwerp.

There are two more matchdays in November, the first coming on 5 November and seeing Jose Mourinho’s side take on Ludogorets, and the second following on 26 November in the return fixture in north London.

December brings around the conclusion of the group stage, with matchdays on 3 and 10 December. On the former date, Tottenham play LASK on the road, before finishing their group campaign against Antwerp at home on the latter date.

Should Mourinho’s men make it through the group, they will have a keen eye on the last-32 draw, which will take place on 14 December.
