In the first week of April, Tottenham will play the first competitive fixture at their new stadium.
Due to delay in construction, Spurs were
unable to move to their new White Hart Lane Stadium scheduled for September 2018.
Who their first opponents will be depends on Brighton's FA Cup campaign.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino has said he expects to play their Champions League quarter-final home leg at the venue on 9/10 or 16/17 April, following the draw on 15 March.
Prior to getting the green light for competitive matches, Spurs said in a statement that two test events "with increasing levels of attendance" must be staged "in order to achieve a formal safety certificate".

An under-18s fixture with Southampton on 24 March will allow for a capacity of around 30,000, before a legends match on 30 March will see around 45,000 fans admitted to the venue.
The new White Hart Lane has a capacity of 62,062 and located on the site of their old White Hart Lane.
Previously, Chairman Daniel Levy has apologized to fans for the delay in the completion of the stadium.
The new stadium expected to cost around £750m will also stage NFL matches.
Levy stated it would "redefine sports and entertainment experiences".
