The 2022 FA Community Shield (also known as The FA Community Shield supported by McDonald's for sponsorship reasons) will be the 100th FA Community Shield, an annual football match played between the winners of the previous season's Premier League and the winners of the previous season's FA Cup.
For the first time in 10 years, the match will take place away from the usual Wembley Stadium due to the hosting of the UEFA Women's Euro 2022 and will instead be played at Leicester City's King Power Stadium.[1]
Leicester City were the defending champions as winners of the 2021 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.[2]
Background
Liverpool won their FA Cup title after their match against Chelsea resulted in a 0–0 tie in the final, with it ending 6–5 on penalties.[3][4]
Manchester City won their FA Community Shield position by virtue of their position in the 2021–22 Premier League season, gaining a position in the top 2 in the Premier League.
