Community Shield kick off time is confirmed as Manchester United prepare to face Manchester City in season curtain-raiser in repeat of FA Cup final Community Shield kick off time confirmed as Man City face Man United

The 2024 Community Shield will kick off at 3PM on Saturday, August 10, as the countdown continues to the new season.

Manchester United are set to meet arch-rivals Manchester City in the traditional season curtain-raiser after Erik ten Hag's side beat City in the FA Cup final.

Meanwhile, City will take part after they won the Premier League for a fourth successive year last season.

The teams will do battle at Wembley a week before the top flight season begins in what will be the 102nd edition of the annual match, where the Premier League winners meet the team who triumphed in the FA Cup.

City have a bizarrely poor recent record in the Community Shield after losing the last three editions to Leicester, Liverpool and Arsenal respectively.

However, they did defeat Chelsea and Liverpool in 2018 and 2019 respectively, with Pep Guardiola's side six-time winners of the curtain-raiser.

Meanwhile, United are the most decorated side with 21 triumphs in the annual match, although it will be the first time they have competed since 2016, when they beat Leicester City.
