The 2021 FA Community Shield (also known as The FA Community Shield supported by McDonald's for sponsorship reasons) will be the 99th FA Community Shield, an annual football match played between the winners of the previous season's Premier League, Manchester City, and the winners of the previous season's FA Cup, Leicester City.[2] This will be Manchester City's first FA Community Shield since 2019 when they beat Liverpool 5–4 on penalties after a 1–1 draw, and Leicester's first since losing 2–1 to Manchester United in the 2016 edition. The game is set to be played on 7 August 2021 at Wembley Stadium in Wembley, London.
Arsenal were the defending champions as winners of the 2020 FA Community Shield, but did not qualify for this edition, as they failed to win either the Premier League or FA Cup.
The match will be televised live on ITV. It will be the first time the FA Community Shield will on free-to-air television since the 2012 FA Community Shield, which was also shown on ITV.[3]
