"The 2025/26 EFL Cup final is looming large in the first major showpiece of the season in the top four divisions of English football. Last season's showpiece at Wembley Stadium was the highest-attended match of the weekend in Europe, attracting almost 89,000 fans. Millions more will again watch on TV around the world this time as the competition that began in August 2025 and has featured 92 teams comes to a close."
"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 from then on, extra time and - if necessary - penalties will be used to separate teams. The final is a one-off match, with extra time and penalties used if required."
The 2025/26 EFL Cup final will be held at Wembley Stadium on March 22, 2026, with kick-off at 16:30 GMT (11:30 ET / 08:30 PT). The competition began in August 2025 and involved 92 teams across England's top four divisions. Last season's final drew almost 89,000 fans, and millions will watch worldwide via ITV1 and Sky Sports, with streaming on ITV's website, the ITVX app and Sky GO.
