Carabao Cup table 2026-27

There is no Carabao Cup table because the competition uses knockout ties rather than league points. The useful alternative is the bracket, supported by round results and upcoming fixtures, for football and soccer readers alike.

First played in 1960 to 1961, the Carabao Cup rewards progression through each draw. Think of a viewing centre tournament board: follow the winning club into its next space. The bracket above provides that route, while the sections below explain the rounds, African viewing times and the history behind the Wembley final.

Which Clubs Are Still In, and When Do They Play?

The bracket identifies the current round and surviving clubs, while the fixture module supplies their confirmed matches. Read each tie alongside its status, because an undecided match keeps both clubs in contention. The Carabao Cup fixtures list adds dates and kick-off times as arrangements are confirmed. For supporters in Senegal following Sadio Mané or Egypt following Mohamed Salah in Liverpool's 2022 final, the historical result connects the trophy to African internationals.

What Does EFL Cup Standings Actually Mean?

EFL Cup standings refers to the same knockout competition, formally called the EFL Cup and also known as the League Cup. An efl cup table or carabao cup standings search therefore leads to a bracket, without points columns or goal difference rankings. If you want a club's league position, open the Premier League table or Championship table. Those rankings describe league performance; cup progression depends on winning the tie.

How Do Results Connect to the Next Draw?

Round results show who advanced, and the next draw establishes the pairings that follow. Read the Carabao Cup results alongside the bracket, checking whether a score includes a penalty shootout or an aggregate result. Quarter-final winners advance to the semi-finals, and the semi-final winners reach the final. An empty bracket space can mean the preceding tie remains undecided; it does not establish an opponent. Use the confirmed fixture entry for the scheduled meeting.

How Are League Cup Ties Decided?

The competition eliminates clubs round by round, with Premier League teams entering after the opening round. Read the round label and confirmed draw to follow each club's route. Check the published rules for each round to see whether the tie uses aggregate scores, extra time or penalties. The Carabao Cup stats separate individual contributions from team progression.

Which Finals Explain the Competition's Appeal?

Liverpool lead the historical honours list, with their tenth title secured against Chelsea in 2024. Manchester City won four consecutive editions from 2018 to 2021. For African supporters, the 2022 final offers a memorable reference: Liverpool's winning side included Senegal's Sadio Mané and Egypt's Mohamed Salah. Goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher converted Liverpool's final successful kick in an 11 to 10 shootout victory after a goalless match.

What Time Is Kick-Off, Where Can You Watch, and What Is at Stake?

Read every fixture in your local zone: Nigeria uses WAT, Kenya and Uganda EAT, South Africa SAST, and Ghana GMT. A November kick-off at 20:00 GMT means 21:00 WAT, 23:00 EAT and 22:00 SAST. British summer time changes the relationship with UK listings, so use the converted fixture time. For viewing centres in Lagos or evening plans in Nairobi, the possible extra time and penalties also matter when arranging the journey home.

Country viewing listings identify the broadcaster carrying each tie in Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana and Uganda, subject to the listed coverage. Check the match entry because channel availability and selected games can change. The League Cup winner has historically earned a place in European competition. Before settling in, confirm the local kick-off, your country’s coverage and the starting line-ups, especially when an African international is your reason for watching.
