About FA Community Shield

The FA Community Shield is an annual, single-match English football showpiece typically held in early-to-mid August, on the weekend before the start of the English Premier League season. Played at Wembley Stadium in London, it serves as the ceremonial start of the domestic calendar, giving supporters a first competitive look at new signings, new kits, and preseason form — with silverware on the line.

The format is straightforward and high-stakes: it’s a one-off match between the reigning Premier League champions and the FA Cup winners. If one club has won both trophies (a Double), the opponent is typically the Premier League runners-up. The match is played over 90 minutes, and if it’s level at full time it goes directly to a penalty shootout (no extra time), a setup that has helped create plenty of shootout drama over the years.

First held in 1908 as the FA Charity Shield (renamed the FA Community Shield in 2002), the fixture has been contested annually for well over a century, with over 100 editions played. As a match reserved for champions and cup winners, frequent participants include many of England’s most successful clubs — Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, Everton, and Tottenham Hotspur — with Manchester United and Arsenal among the most decorated in Shield history. If you're planning to attend the FA Community Shield, browsing tickets early is the smartest move.

How Much Do FA Community Shield Tickets Cost?

FA Community Shield tickets typically range from around £30–£50 for general lower/upper-tier seats to £100+ or more for premium and hospitality packages, with premium packages running higher.

Several factors influence what you’ll pay. Demand often rises based on which clubs are involved, especially for big-name matchups. Pricing also changes by seat tier and proximity along the halfway line, and hospitality options can increase cost depending on what’s included. Like most major events, buying closer to match day can also impact availability and pricing.

No hidden fees. At Box Office Ticket Sales, the price you see is the price you pay. All fees are shown before checkout — no surprise charges when you reach the final step.

Can I See Where My Seats Are?

Yes. The interactive seat map on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com shows your exact section and row placement before you buy where the event has assigned seating.

Getting Ready for FA Community Shield Match Day

Once your tickets are confirmed, a little preparation goes a long way — especially with match day transit, security screening, and large crowds arriving together at Wembley.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Cellular service near large events can get congested on match days. Save them to your phone's wallet or screenshot them as a backup.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is the standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having.
• Arrive early. Give yourself extra time for entry and security, especially on high-demand dates.
• Public Transit: Wembley Park station (Jubilee and Metropolitan lines), Wembley Stadium station (Chiltern Railways), and Wembley Central (Bakerloo line and Overground) are all within walking distance.
• Rideshare: Designated pickup/drop-off points operate around the stadium perimeter, and access roads are often restricted on match days.
• Bag Policy: Only small bags (roughly A4 size or smaller) are permitted. Larger bags and suitcases are prohibited, and there are no left-luggage facilities on site.
• Bring a card or mobile payment — many vendors are cashless.
• What to bring: Have your mobile ticket ready on your phone, consider a light jacket for London weather, and keep belongings minimal to move faster through security.
