Arsenal v Manchester City: Community Shield – live

Arsenal and Manchester City face off in the Community Shield at Cardiff, kicking off at 3pm BST, marking the symbolic start of the English football season. This is only their second Community Shield meeting in the last five seasons and the fourth overall, as Arsenal's recent success had come from strong league campaigns rather than FA Cup victories. The match brings together the league champions and FA Cup winners in what is described as a semi-serious curtain-raiser to the 2025-26 season.
