Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United to Headline 2025 Coupang Play Series in South Korea

Written by Caprice Critchley

Pitch International (Pitch) is proud to announce that Premier League clubs Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United will travel to South Korea this summer to take part in the 2025 Coupang Play Series — South Korea’s leading pre-season football event.

This marks a significant moment for the Coupang Play Series, as Carabao Cup winners Newcastle United will be making their debut appearance, joining a prestigious lineup of clubs who have participated in the Series since its launch in 2022. The event is organised and globally promoted by Pitch in partnership with Coupang, Corp. with the goal of bringing world-class European football to Korean fans each summer.

Newly crowned UEFA Europa League winners, Tottenham Hotspur will be making their third appearance in the Coupang Play Series, following previous participations in 2022 and 2024. Widely regarded as Korea’s most-supported overseas team, their return underscores the club’s strong connection with Korean fans and continued commitment to engaging with global audiences.

Building on the success of previous editions, which have featured Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, Sevilla FC, FC Bayern Munich and Atlético de Madrid, the 2025 Coupang Play Series continues to deliver top-tier football and fan-first entertainment experiences in one of Asia’s most passionate football markets.

This year’s schedule will see Newcastle United play both Tottenham Hotspur and K League All-Stars with further details about the matches to be released soon.

Pitch International’s Anthony Bloch said: “We are delighted to be bringing Newcastle United to the Coupang Play Series for the first time and to be working once again with Tottenham Hotspur. Our partnership with Coupang continues to grow, and we’re proud to deliver another edition of the Series that showcases elite football and global fan engagement. This is another exciting step in Pitch’s mission to connect leading clubs with new audiences through memorable live experiences.”
