Tottenham have confirmed they will move to Wembley for the 2017/18 season, while their new stadium at Northumberland Park is being completed.
Spurs will play 27 of their domestic and European home matches at Wembley at the maximum capacity of 90,000.
Ahead of the last North London derby at White Hart Lane, chairman Daniel Levy said: “Both on and of the pitch this is an incredibly exciting time in the history of our club.
“The Lane means a huge amount to each and very one of us and we needed to gain greater certainty on the delivery of the new stadium before we made the final decision to commence with the decommissions of our iconic, historic home.
“We shall ensure that we give the Lane a fitting farewell when we play our last match there on May 14.
“Wembley will be our home for a season and then we will return to what will be one of the best stadiums of its kind and the most unique in the world, playing host to NFL games too – a stadium that will be key to our future growth and success.”
Tottenham’s new home being built adjacent to White Hart Lane will be a 61,000-seater stadium.
