Liverpool will open their 2019/20 campaign against Premier League champions Manchester City at Wembley after Pep Guardiola's side beat Watford in the FA Cup Final to book the Reds' place in next year's Community Shield.
A Raheem Sterling hat-trick and goals from David Silva, Kevin De Bruyne and Gabriel Jesus saw City thrash the Hornets 6-0 to complete a domestic treble, already lifted both the Premier League and League Cup.
The Community Shield traditionally pits the Premier League winners against the FA Cup winners.
However, with the Reds missing out on booking their place as league champions, City's victory in both competitions sees Jurgen Klopp 's side instead provide the opposition as league runners-up and gives them the opportunity to gain an early upper-hand against their title-rivals.
The new season's curtain-raiser is expected to take place at Wembley on Sunday 4 August, a week before the start of the new Premier League season.
Liverpool have lifted the trophy on 15 previous occasions, five shared, with their most recent victory coming in 2006 as goals from John Arne Riise and Peter Crouch clinched a 2-1 victory over Chelsea.
Meanwhile, City are the reigning holders after beating Chelsea 2-0 in last year's final.
The Community Shield is likely to provide Liverpool's penultimate warm-up game before the new Premier League season with the Reds looking to stage a pre-season friendly at Anfield before their opening game.
