This year's Community Shield match between Manchester City and Liverpool will be held at Leicester's King Power Stadium on 30 July.
Last year's Shield game, in which Leicester beat Manchester City 1-0, was staged in August.
This year's game is earlier as the new season must accommodate the World Cup in Qatar during November and December.
The Premier League season will begin a week after the Community Shield on 6 August.
It will then pause after matchday 16 on the weekend of 12-13 November before resuming on 26 December, eight days after the World Cup final.
