Atletico Madrid, Tottenham and Al Hilal headline Wednesday’s pre-season friendlies schedule

Atletico Madrid, Tottenham and Saudi champions Al Hilal are among the clubs in action on Wednesday 29 July 2026 as teams continue their preparations for the new season with a series of high-profile friendly matches.

Atletico Madrid face La Liga rivals Getafe later in the evening, while Tottenham meet Sydney FC and Al Hilal take on Algerian side Mouloudia Alger in an all-Arab clash.

The day’s fixtures form part of each club’s build-up to the 2026-27 campaign, with coaching staff using these matches to assess fitness levels, integrate new ideas and give playing time to a wide range of squad members.

All-Arab meeting for Al Hilal

Al Hilal’s friendly against Mouloudia Alger is scheduled to kick off at 15:00 local time.

The meeting brings together one of Saudi Arabia’s leading clubs and one of Algeria’s most prominent sides, with both looking to sharpen up ahead of their respective domestic seasons.

Although the fixture is a friendly, it offers an early test of form and cohesion for two teams representing two of the Arab world’s strongest footballing nations.

Atletico Madrid face Getafe in all-Spanish test

Later in the day, Atletico Madrid continue their pre-season programme with a match against fellow Spanish club Getafe.

The game is set for a 22:30 kick-off.

Coming up against La Liga opposition at this stage of pre-season allows both sides to measure their progress against familiar domestic rivals and adjust tactics and line-ups before competitive action begins.

Tottenham take on Sydney FC

Earlier in the schedule, Tottenham face Australian side Sydney FC as part of their pre-season preparations.

That match is due to start at 12:45 in the afternoon (one quarter to one).

The fixture gives Tottenham another opportunity to build match fitness and rhythm following the summer break, while Sydney FC benefit from testing themselves against Premier League opposition.
