No Carabao Cup matches are listed for Sunday 15 November 2026 (UK time). Use Today, Tonight or Tomorrow to see the fixtures for that UK calendar date. Tonight covers kick-offs from 18:00 until midnight. A blank date does not mean the competition has finished.

When is the next Carabao Cup match?

Manchester City v Bradford City is scheduled for Tue 15 Dec 2026 at 20:00 GMT. All kick-off times on this site use Europe/London, with GMT in winter and BST in summer. Fixtures can move after broadcast selections or other scheduling changes, so check the match page before travelling.

Where can I watch the Carabao Cup in the UK?

Sky Sports carries the competition in the UK, with selected ties also available through ITV. The channel shown beside a fixture is the confirmed listing for that match. Sky Sports+ and the main Sky channels are separate listings; check your package and device with the provider. Eligible NOW memberships offer another way to watch Sky coverage.

Which Carabao Cup games are free to watch?

Look for a Free label beside a confirmed ITV listing. Only selected ties have verified free-to-air coverage; do not assume every match is free. ITVX or STV availability and account requirements depend on the service and region. A missing channel means we have not confirmed the broadcast arrangements, rather than that the match will not be televised.

When is the next Carabao Cup draw?

Semi-finals: Awaiting an official announcement. Draws confirm the opponents for the next stage. A draw held after a televised match can start later if that game runs beyond normal time. Check the announcement linked from our draw page for the confirmed arrangements.

When is the Carabao Cup final?

The 2027 Carabao Cup final is scheduled for Sunday 21 March 2027 at Wembley Stadium, London. The kick-off time and finalists are listed on the final page once confirmed. The final is a single match; the semi-finals are played over two legs. Follow the round dates below to see the route to Wembley, and add the fixtures to your calendar to help plan ahead.

Is the fifth round the quarter-finals?

Yes. The fifth round is the quarter-final stage, with eight teams remaining. The fourth round is the last 16. The Carabao Cup, also known as the EFL Cup or League Cup, is a knockout competition rather than a league: there is no points table. Use the bracket to follow confirmed ties and progress.

Is there extra time or a penalty shoot-out?

In rounds one to five, matches level after 90 minutes go straight to penalties. Extra time can be needed in the second leg of a semi-final if the aggregate score is level, and in the final. We show shoot-out scores separately from the match score. Refer to the EFL rules for preliminary-round arrangements and any amendments.
