EFL Cup: Are Premier League in the Carabao Cup third round?

The 11 Premier League clubs not involved in European competition joined the competition in the second round, giving EFL clubs their first shots at providing upsets this season.

The nine Premier League teams who are in Europe are now joining the EFL Cup third round.

EFL Cup dates 2025/26: When are the Carabao Cup round dates?

Round one started during the second week of the EFL season. A new preliminary round also started in late July between the two clubs promoted from the National League last season and the teams who finished 21st and 22nd in League Two.

There will be split weeks in round three for clubs in the Champions League and Europa League.

EFL Cup TV channel: How to watch the Carabao Cup

All EFL Cup matches will be available to watch on Sky Sports or Sky Sports+ as part of a deal between the league and the broadcaster to show more than 1,000 of the 1,891 games across the EFL, EFL Cup and Bristol Street Motors Trophy.

Via Now TV, Sky Sports costs £14.99 for a day membership, £26 a month for a six-month membership or £34.99 a month with no contract.

EFL Cup live stream: Watch the Carabao Cup online

Sky Sports memberships include access to all 12 live Sky Sports channels and Sky Sports+, which offers live streams and a dedicated channel.

Fans can watch online and on the move with the SkyGO app, which is available on a vast range of devices including smart TVs, gaming consoles, set-top boxes and mobile devices.

Do the EFL Cup winners qualify for Europe?

The EFL Cup winners receive a place in the play-off stage of the UEFA Conference League unless they qualify through another route for European competition.

Newcastle were an example of the rule in action in 2024/25, instead qualifying for the Champions League through their league position.

That meant their Conference League play-off place went to the next-highest ranked team who had not qualified for European competition via their league position.

Do EFL Cup ties go to extra time, replays and penalties?

Should they finish level after 90 minutes, EFL Cup ties go straight to penalties until the semi-finals, which take place over two legs.

If the scoreline is level after the second leg, extra time and – if necessary – penalties are used to separate teams.

The final is a one-off match at Wembley Stadium, with extra time and penalties used if required.

Liverpool beat Chelsea 11-10 on penalties in the 2021/22 final and edged the same fixture after extra time in 2023/24 through Virgil van Dijk’s 118th-minute winner.

Newcastle beat Liverpool 2-1 in the 2024/25 final to win their first domestic trophy since 1955.
