Football match
The 2020 Women's FA Community Shield was the ninth Women's FA Community Shield , and the first after the competition's revival following an eleven-season abeyance.[ 1] As with its male equivalent , the Community Shield is an annual football match played between the winners of the previous season's league and the previous season's Women's FA Cup . However, as the 2019–20 Women's FA Cup was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom , the 2020 Community Shield was contested by the 2019–20 FA WSL champions Chelsea and the still-reigning 2018–19 FA Cup winners, Manchester City . Both teams were contesting their first ever Women's Community Shield.
The match was played as part of a double-header, with both the women's and men's Community Shields contested on the same day, played back-to-back at Wembley Stadium and was televised live on BBC One and BBC iPlayer .[ 2]
