Like Spurs, Hull will compete in the Europa League later this year.
Tottenham qualified by finishing sixth in the Premier League – 10 places above Hull.
Meanwhile, Hull booked their place in the continental competition by reaching the final of the FA Cup, where they were beaten 3-2 by Arsenal in extra time, after taking an early 2-0 lead at Wembley.
Livermore has made six Europa League appearances during his time at Spurs. He featured in both legs as Tottenham overcame Inter Milan on away goals in March 2013.
The Enfield-born man has represented England once at senior international level, appearing as a second-half substitute in a 2-1 win over Italy in August 2012.
