FA Community Shield kick-off time changed

The Community Shield trophy

Our 2023 FA Community Shield meeting with Manchester City at Wembley Stadium will now kick off at 16:00 BST on Sunday, August 6.

The new earlier kick-off time for the traditional domestic season curtain raiser has been agreed following consultation with broadcast partners, the local authorities, the police and the competing clubs.

The decision to move the kick-off time was taken following full consideration of the transport challenges for supporters returning to Manchester after the match.

Ticketing details will be announced at the earliest opportunity.
