The Football Association Community Shield is an annual association football match organised by the Football Association and presently contested between the Premier League champions and FA Cup winners. In the event where a club achieves the domestic double, it goes on to face the league runners-up instead. The match is played every August, serving as England's super cup equivalent, and is regarded as the "curtain-raiser" and the first competitive game of each top-flight English football season. Since 1974, all but seven of the matches have been held at either the original or new Wembley stadiums. Stamford Bridge, which was the venue where the inaugural Charity Shield was played in 1908, has hosted the second-most finals with 11. The current winners are Crystal Palace, who defeated Liverpool 3–2 on penalties following a 2–2 draw in the 2025 fixture.
