The League Cup, also known as the EFL Cup or simply the Carabao Cup (for sponsorship reasons), is a knockout competition in English football. It is open to the 92 professional football clubs in the Premier League and the English Football League. The tournament was first held in 1960 and is typically played annually, with teams competing in single-elimination matches. The League Cup serves as an opportunity for clubs to win a trophy in addition to their league and other cup competitions. The winner of the League Cup qualifies for the UEFA Europa Conference League, providing an incentive for performance. The competition is known for its relatively quick progression through rounds, with matches often being played midweek, making it a focal point for clubs aiming to secure silverware outside of league play.
