Crystal Palace has won the Community Shield by beating Premier League champion Liverpool in a penalty shootout at Wembley Stadium.

FA Cup winners Crystal Palace have won the Community Shield for the first time after beating Liverpool 3-2 on penalties

The unofficial 2025–26 season curtain-raiser takes place at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, with Liverpool taking on Crystal Palace in the Community Shield.

Crystal Palace and Liverpool will play for the Community Shield title. Only one team will start the season with a trophy.

Liverpool’s efforts to bring Guehi to Anfield have reached an impasse over transfer valuation. Palace are understood to be holding firm at £45–50 million, a figure that Anfield officials deem excessive given the player’s contract position. With just one year left on his deal, Liverpool are reluctant to exceed £35–40 million.

The biggest challenge for Crystal Palace is to keep this fantastic team together. Manager Oliver Glasner picked the same starting XI in the FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May and again in last weekend's Community Shield victory over Liverpool.
