Tottenham have confirmed that the Premier League game against Crystal Palace will be the first at their new stadium on April 3.
Brighton's FA Cup victory over Millwall ensured that they will now be in a Wembley semi-final when they were due to play Spurs leaving the game against Palace as the curtain-raiser.
"We can confirm that the first Premier League match in our new stadium will be against Crystal Palace on Wednesday 3 April," a short statement read.
Tottenham initially hoped to be in the new ground early on in this season, initially pencilling in the Premier League game with Liverpool on September 15.
Subsequently there were hopes to open the new stadium with Burnley on December 15 or then Manchester United on January 13, but each potential target date has been pushed back again.
But following Brighton's win Palace will now be the first visitors. Manchester City will visit in the Champions League quarter-final the following Tuesday.
There will be two test events in the next fortnight, with the club's Under-18s side playing Southampton next Sunday, followed by a Legends game against Inter Milan on March 30.
Chairman Daniel Levy has revealed to the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters Trust the club were never in discussions with Nike over the sale of stadium naming rights.
It was reported that the sportswear brand, who make Spurs' kit, had bought the rights for the ground to be called the Nike Stadium, but Levy has denied that and says no deal has yet been agreed.
