Arsenal and Manchester City will look to put an early marker down for the 2026/27 season when they meet in the Community Shield.
After three consecutive second-place finishes, Mikel Arteta's side claimed a hard-earned Premier League title triumph last season.
They came agonisingly close to following up that success in the Champions League final, losing on penalties to Paris Saint-Germain in Budapest.
City are in competitive action for the first time under Enzo Maresca, a former No. 2 at the Etihad Stadium like Arteta. Maresca succeeded Pep Guardiola after a record-breaking decade in Manchester. Guardiola's 20th and final trophy success in last season's FA Cup booked City's place in this fixture.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match and kickoff times.
