Mini “forum-style” scoop

“For UK fans asking where can I watch the EFL Cup final , it’s basically Sky Sports if you’ve got pay TV, or ITV/ITVX if you want it free-to-air. In the US it’s all about Paramount+ these days, often highlighted under the Golazo soccer coverage.”

TL;DR:
In the UK, watch on Sky Sports or ITV/ITVX; in the US, stream on Paramount+; YouTube TV and various international broadcasters carry it in other regions.
