A High Court judge in London gave the club the go-ahead to challenge a decision made in favour of West Ham for the use of the ?486million venue in Stratford, east London, after the Games end next summer.
Earlier this year the Olympic Park Legacy Company (OPLC) opted for a bid put forward by West Ham.
But on Wednesday Tottenham successfully applied to Mr Justice Collins for permission to mount a legal challenge.
The judge's task at this stage was only to decide whether Tottenham has an "arguable" case.
A further hearing with full arguments from all sides will now have to be held.
