Arsenal and Man City Clash in 2026 Community Shield
The 2026 Community Shield will take place on Sunday at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, featuring Premier League champions Arsenal and FA Cup winners Manchester City. This match is a repeat of the 2023 English Super Cup, where Arsenal, managed by Mikel Arteta, defeated Pep Guardiola's City on penalties.
Arsenal seeks its 18th Community Shield title, having previously won 17, while Manchester City has claimed the trophy seven times. Arsenal's recent performances include one win in four summer friendlies, with penalties deciding their victories against Borussia Dortmund and Como.
Enzo Maresca, the new Manchester City manager, prepares for his first competitive match after an unbeaten pre-season. City last won the Community Shield in 2024 against Manchester United.
The match is significant as Arsenal aims to match Manchester United's record of 21 Community Shield victories, while City looks to extend its recent dominance over Arsenal, having won five of their last six encounters.
