Where to watch the Community Shield: Stadium, Pubs and Watch on TV

On Sunday, 10 August, Liverpool will take on Crystal Palace in the Community Shield. It's the first time since 2020 that Manchester City haven't been involved in the match, which means we are guranteed new holders.

The annual curtain raiser will kick-off at 3pm on Sunday, 10 August and thousands of football fans are expected to tune in to watch the action unfold. If you are wondering where to watch the Community Shield or how to tune in, here is what you need to know.

Where to watch the Community Shield – Wembley Stadium

The best place to watch the Community Shield is at Wembley Stadium, where the match is taking place. Both clubs have been given an allocation of 30,047 tickets for the match, which is around 3,000 less than what Man City and Man Utd received last year.

Tickets for the Community Shield are still on sale via the competing clubs.

To watch the match in style, fans can purchase Club Wembley tickets directly through the FA for the match. It is worth noting that these hospitality tickets can't be bought for one-off matches and that a purchase for the Community Shield would enable the holder to use seats for the next 12 months.

Best pubs for the Community Shield

If you can't get a ticket for the match, then the next-best place to watch the Community Shield will be at a pub where you can soak up the atmosphere with like-minded fans. For Liverpool fans, this will be in Liverpool city centre and for Crystal Palace fans, this will be in London.
