Wembley stages the season’s traditional curtain raiser as Premier League champions Manchester City face runners-up Arsenal in the Community Shield.

Pep Guardiola will be hoping it is a case of third-time lucky in the big match after seeing his side lose to Liverpool last year and Leicester City in 2021.

Man City secured home and away victories against Arsenal on their way to the Premier League title – and eventual treble – last season, so they head to the capital as favourites.

The Gunners make their first appearance in the Community Shield since 2020, which they won on penalties after a 1-1 draw with Liverpool, and Mikel Arteta will be eager to lay down a marker ahead of the new campaign.

Arsenal have splashed the cash on Kai Havertz, Declan Rice and Jurriën Timber in the summer transfer window, and all three could make their competitive debuts.

RadioTimes.com has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Man City v Arsenal on TV and online.
