Wembley Stadium will not host the 2026 edition of the Community Shield, the FA have announced. The traditional curtain-raiser pits the reigning league champions against the FA Cup winners and typically takes place on the weekend before the Premier League gets under way.
This was the fourth FA Cup tie between Fulham and Southampton, with the Cottagers progressing in the third round in 1998/99 after a replay and the Saints winning in the second round in 1914/15 and third round in 2017/18.
