It is “likely” Tottenham will submit a request to the FA for their opening few games of the 2018/19 season to be away.
Spurs have been playing at Wembley this season whilst work continues on the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Chairman Daniel Levy told a meeting of club officials and members of the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters Trust that the £800m stadium remains on course to be completed this summer.
However, with season tickets soon to go on sale, the club expect to enact a long-standing contingency plan to guard against any unforeseen hitches.
The Premier League would not allow Spurs to play home matches at more than one venue in a season, so there is no option to use Wembley as a short-term measure.
There have been three previous instances of the Premier League agreeing to clubs' requests to play opening games away from home, which involved Blackpool, Liverpool and West Ham.
