    Community Shield

    In August 2020, the FA announced the return of the FA Women's Community Shield for the first time since 2008. The tie will be contested between 2019–20 FA WSL champions Chelsea and Manchester City, who qualified as reigning 2019 FA Cup winners due to the unfinished nature of the 2019–20 Women's FA Cup. The match will be part of a Wembley double-header on the same day as the men's equivalent.[15]
