Last year's Shield game, in which Leicester beat Manchester City 1-0, was staged in August.

This year's game is earlier as the new season must accommodate the World Cup in Qatar during November and December.

The Premier League season will begin a week after the Community Shield on 6 August.

It will then pause after matchday 16 on the weekend of 12-13 November before resuming on 26 December, eight days after the World Cup final.

The full fixture list for the 2022-23 Premier League season will be released on 16 June.
