The EFL Cup (Carabao Cup) semi-final draw for the 2025–26 season is scheduled for Wednesday 17 December 2025, immediately after the Newcastle vs Fulham quarter-final, which kicks off at 20:15 GMT. In practical terms, the draw will take place later that evening once the match (and any extra time) is finished, so fans can expect it around 22:00–22:30 GMT.
