The 2020 Women's FA Community Shield will be the ninth FA Women's 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 coronavirus outbreak the 2020 Community Shield will be contested by the WSL champions Chelsea and the FA Cup holders from 2019, Manchester City.[2] Both teams will be contesting their first ever Women's Community Shield.
The match will be 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.[1]
