Manchester City and Manchester United lock horns in the FA Community Shield on 10 August 2024. It will be the curtain raiser for the 2024/24 Premier League season. So if you are looking for Community Shield tickets, this post has the details, including the ticket prices.
Arsenal are the current holders of the Community Shield trophy, having defeated Man City in 2023 to lift the silverware. Manchester United have the most titles (21) and have defeated the Cityzens twice as many times as they have met in the charity contest — in 1956 and 2011.
Will history repeat itself as City and United clash in Community Shield?

A clash at Wembley Stadium between Man City and Man United in the Community Shield six days before the 2024/25 Premier League kicks off will be another special derby with a price tag. But will history might repeat itself? These teams meet again in the challenge after 14 years with the Red Devils hoping for three consecutive wins against Man City in the contest.
Manchester United defeated Manchester City in the 2011/12 curtain raiser, the last time these teams met in the community shield.
Dubbed the curtain raiser of English football, the August 2024 Community Shield presents Erik Ten Hag with another chance to shine against Pep Guardiola following a massive victory in the FA Cup final last season.
Things are somehow different though. A stronger United side were the reigning Premier League champions in the 2010/11 season, so winning against Man City on 7 August 2011 was largely expected.
However, given that the Premier League trophy has eluded Manchester United for over a decade now while the city rivals have since bagged eight titles, the upcoming Community Shield clash presents the Red Devils with another tough challenge.
The 2024 Community Shield clash will have the same teams on the scoreboard as was in 2011 but this time, Man City are the reigning EPL champions and United come with the FA Trophy bragging rights.
A week today.
