As is tradition, the new season will begin with the Community Shield as Premier League champions Liverpool prepare to take on FA Cup winners Crystal Palace.
The curtain raiser for the 2025/26 campaign will be played at Wembley Stadium on Sunday the 10th of August, in what promises to be an intriguing game.
Palace caused a huge upset with their FA Cup final victory over Manchester City at Wembley back in May, with the south London club winning their first ever trophy that day.

Oliver Glasner will now no doubt be hoping to add to that with a win over Liverpool, though Arne Slot’s men will be the major favourites to triumph.
Even neutral fans will surely want to savour that early-season atmosphere at the glorious arena that is Wembley, so here’s our guide for how to ensure you make it to the game.

It’s still a little while away, with much of the transfer window still to run, but we can still have a bit of a stab at how the two teams could line up on the day.
Liverpool will of course be hoping to field their exciting new signings, with competitive debuts perhaps in store for Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, and Milos Kerkez.

We don’t know yet if a few other names could be added between now and August 10th, but for now we can perhaps expect Slot to go with something like this…
