Community Shield Showdown set for August 29 at Wembley
The Community Shield will take place at Wembley on Saturday August 29, the FA has confirmed.
The traditional curtain-raiser for the new season will see Premier League champions Liverpool play either Arsenal or Chelsea, who meet in this Saturday's FA Cup final.
The kick-off time for the game will be announced at a later date.
It has been reported that the match could welcome a restricted number of supporters into Wembley as part of plans for supporters to make a socially-distanced return to sports venues more widely from October 1.
The match will be immediately followed by an international break from September 2 to 10.
The announcement comes after the Premier League revealed last week that the 2020/21 season would start on September 12 and run until May 23, 2021.
