"The Welsh national stadium has a rich history of hosting major football events, including the FA Community Shield on six occasions between 2001 and 2006, and it provides a neutral venue for the competing clubs."
The Football Association announced that the 2026 Community Shield will take place at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on August 16. This change is due to Wembley Stadium's unavailability for pre-planned concerts on the same weekend. The Community Shield traditionally occurs before the Premier League season begins, which starts on August 22. Cardiff has previously hosted the event and offers a neutral venue with a large capacity for fans. Further details will be provided after the conclusion of the 2025-26 season.
