The Crystal Palace vs Liverpool, FA Community Shield 2025 fixture will be telecast on the Sony Sports Network in India. Simultaneously, it will also be live streamed on the SonyLIV app and website.

Wembley will host the first competitive match of the elite English football calendar as FA Cup winners Crystal Palace face Premier League champions Liverpool in the 2025 Community Shield.

This will be Palace's first appearance in the Community Shield, following their victory in the FA Cup last May, which marked their first major trophy. Although history is not on their side, none of the last four debutants in the Community Shield have managed to win the title, there is still hope for Palace. They have successfully retained key players like Eberechi Eze and captain Marc Guehi during the transfer window. Additionally, they have a strong record at Wembley, having won four of their last six matches at this neutral venue. Coupled with the fact that the previous season’s FA Cup winners have triumphed in seven of the last nine Community Shields, this should boost their morale as they take the field.

The clash between Crystal Palace and Liverpool match will start soon. The players are doing their pre-match drills and the referees are also on the field. The preparations are done and the kickoff will be done on time.

The match started on time in Wembley Stadium. Liverpool FC players are looking to take an early lead in the first half. Crystal Palace will try to avoid that.
