The Carabao Cup, widely recognized as the EFL Cup or simply the League Cup, enters its 65th edition in the 2025-26 campaign, with silverware, pride, and European football opportunity all on the line.
Beyond the prize money and the chance to etch their name into English football's rich history, the eventual champions will also book a spot in the playoff round of next season's Europa Conference League.
This year's Carabao Cup carries no shortage of storylines, with both Manchester City and Arsenal determined to make amends after ending last season without a trophy, the Carabao Cup offers an early shot at redemption.
Standing in their way, however, are holders Newcastle United, eager to hang on to their silverware. But could this be the year a fresh contender rises to steal the spotlight?
The Sporting News looks at the key fixture details this week and how to follow the matches.
