  • The Community Shield match is being held at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.

Premier League champions Arsenal are set to take on FA Cup winners Manchester City in the Community Shield today, Sunday 16 August, at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. The match, which kicks off at 3pm BST, serves as the traditional curtain-raiser for the Premier League season.

This year's event has been relocated from its usual Wembley home due to a series of concerts by The Weeknd. Arsenal, who clinched their first league title in 22 years in May, will be looking to build on their success after finishing seven points clear of City.

Manchester City, who defeated Chelsea 1-0 in the FA Cup final, begin a new chapter under manager Enzo Maresca. He takes the helm after Pep Guardiola's decade of leadership, although the club faces the ongoing threat of possible sanctions.

What this means for you: The game will be broadcast live on TNT Sports in the UK, with subscribers able to watch online via the HBO Max app and website from 2pm.
