Community Shield – Arsenal vs Chelsea: What TV channel is curtain raiser on, and what time is kick off?
Arsenal play Chelsea in the Community Shield at Wembley a week before the Premier League season starts
ARSENAL meet Chelsea in a massive London derby in the FA Community Shield in the annual season curtain-raiser.
The Gunners will be determined to get one over on their London rivals following their bitterly disappointing campaign last term as they finished outside the Champions League places for the first time since Arsene Wenger took charge as manager 20 years ago.
Chelsea will aim to add another trophy to the cabinet as they begin their bid to retain the Premier League title and win it for the sixth time.
Antonio Conte is the fourth manager to win the Premier League in his debut season but will hope to become the first man to win it twice in his first two seasons.
Arsenal and Chelsea have a rivalry that dates back decades and there is sure to be no love lost between the two London clubs.
What TV channel is the match on?
Arsenal vs Chelsea will be played at 2pm on Sunday August 6.
The Community Shield normally kicks off at 3pm, but this year it has been brought forward an hour to avoid a clash with the Women's European Championship final.
Coverage from Wembley Stadium will be shown live on BT Sport 1.
