The match will be played at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, with kick-off scheduled for 3:00 PM BST (7:30 PM IST). The fixture brings together Premier League champions Arsenal and FA Cup winners Manchester City in the traditional curtain-raiser to the new campaign.

The game also represents the beginning of a new era at Manchester City, with Enzo Maresca taking charge of his first competitive match following Pep Guardiola’s departure. Arsenal, meanwhile, arrive as reigning Premier League champions after ending their 22-year wait for the title.
