While MLS continues through the summer months, European leagues prepare for domestic league action with a series of cup matches.

In England, Chelsea and Arsenal collide in the Community Shield, pitting the FA Cup winners against the league’s reigning champions. The matchup, which serves as an unofficial kickoff to the English Premier League season, provides an early taste of the highly-publicized and, at times, physical Jose Mourinho-Arsene Wenger rivalry to kickstart the English campaign.

German champion Bayern Munich takes on Wolfsburg in the DFP Supercup, while Paris-Saint Germain faces off with Lyon for the French Super Cup.

In other action, Barcelona faces Fiorentina in the International Champions Cup, the Vancouver Whitecaps collide with Cascadia rivals Seattle Sounders and Ottawa Fury FC hosts FC Edmonton in a battle of the NASL’s top two teams.
