Road closures and travel advice for Community Shield

There will be road closures on Sunday (16 August), when Manchester City and Arsenal meet at the Principality Stadium to contest the FA Community Shield.

With kick-off at 3pm, road closures around the stadium will be in place from 10am until 8pm, so it will be harder to get around the city centre.

All routes for both Manchester City and Arsenal fans will be clearly signposted for cars, minibuses, and coaches.

For up-to-date traffic information on the motorway and trunk roads go to the Traffic Wales website, or @TrafficWalesS on X and Facebook.

If you're going to the game, you're advised to get there early.

Transport for Wales will continue to use a new system using both Cardiff Central and Cardiff Queen Street railway stations. Fans heading home on Valleys and Vale services will be directed to Cardiff Queen Street station instead of Cardiff Central, but mainline train services will continue to use Cardiff Central, including services to Ebbw Vale.

For all the info on road closures and travel advice, see this from Cardiff Council.
