Due to the hosting of the UEFA Women's Euro 2022 final, the match took place away from the usual Wembley Stadium for the first time in 10 years, and was instead played at Leicester City's King Power Stadium. With the match played at the much-reduced capacity of Leicester City's stadium, there were 28,545 spectators, the lowest number for a Charity Shield or Community Shield game since 23,988 watched Burnley beat Manchester City 1–0 at Maine Road in 1973.
The game was televised live in the United Kingdom on ITV.
