It will take place at Wembley Stadium on 6 August 2023. As Manchester Citywon both the 2022-3 Premier Leaguer and the 2022-3 FA Cup (that is "Doing the Double"), their opponents will be the Premier League runners-up, Arsenal.

The match was initially planned to kick-off at 17:30 BST, however this was met with criticism from Manchester City fans who complained about its possible disruption to travelling to the match. Therefore, The FA moved kick-off to 16:00 instead on the same day.
Liverpool were the defending champions, but they did not qualify for this edition, having failed to win either the Premier League or FA Cup.
