The 2024 Community Shield will kick off at 3pm on Saturday, August 10, as the countdown continues to the new campaign. 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. City have a bizarrely poor recent record in the Community Shield after losing the last three editions to Leicester, Liverpool and Arsenal respectively. This season's clash promises to be an intriguing match-up after United shocked their rivals to win the FA Cup final 2-1.
