City play Arsenal in the season curtain-raiser at Wembley on Sunday 6 August, with kick-off scheduled for 16:00 (UK).
After winning the Treble last season, Pep Guardiola’s side have an early opportunity to add more silverware.
The Gunners will be City’s opponents after finishing second in the Premier League in a thrilling title race that went into the last month of the season.
Crucially, City won home and away against Mikel Arteta’s side while we also beat Arsenal 1-0 in the FA Cup on our way to lifting the trophy with a victory over Manchester United at Wembley.
We go into the Community Shield on the back of our 2023 Asia Tour where we beat Yokohama F. Marinos and Bayern Munich in Japan before a narrow defeat to Atletico Madrid in South Korea.
