It was contested by Manchester City, champions of the 2017–18 Premier League, and Chelsea, winners of the 2017–18 FA Cup, at Wembley Stadium in London on 5 August 2018. Manchester City won 2–0, with both goals scored by Sergio Agüero, who was named man of the match for his performance.
Arsenal were the defending champions as winners of the 2017 FA Community Shield, but did not qualify for this edition, as they finished sixth in the Premier League and got knocked out of the FA Cup in the third round.
