Speaking at the announcement of the move, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy said: "Wembley will be our home for a season and then we shall 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.
"Both on and off the pitch, this is an incredibly exciting time in the history of our club," he added.
Spurs played their European games at the national stadium this season in preparation for the move next season.
