You can watch the EFL Cup (Carabao Cup) on a mix of TV broadcasters and streaming platforms, depending on where you live and which season you’re interested in.

Where to watch EFL Cup (quick overview)

  • UK:
    • Sky Sports holds the main rights and shows every Carabao Cup match live for the 2025/26 season, from first round to final.
* You can access Sky via a standard Sky Sports TV package or via the Now streaming service (day/month sports passes).

* Some matches are also shared with free-to-air ITV, but Sky is the primary home.
  • USA:
    • Most EFL Cup matches for 2025/26 are streamed on Paramount+ under CBS’s rights deal.
* Select fixtures are also shown on CBS Sports Network and CBS’s Golazo Network (free streaming channel), and can be watched via streaming bundles like Fubo if they carry CBS Sports Network.
  • Other international options (examples):
    • YouTube TV has an “EFL Cup” hub: in the US it works as an aggregator, letting you stream channels that own the rights (e.g., CBS, CBS Sports Network) if they’re in your package.
* In many regions, local sports networks or streaming platforms buy sublicenses; fans often check their national broadcaster lists on the EFL’s broadcast partners page.

Practical tips for finding the right stream

  • Search with your country name + “Carabao Cup broadcaster 2025/26” to see who currently holds rights. Many fans do this each season because deals change.
  • If you already pay for Sky, Paramount+, or a similar service, check their football / soccer section or in-app “competitions” tab for “Carabao Cup” or “EFL Cup.”
  • For fixtures and kickoff times, use a dedicated Carabao Cup TV schedule site; they list which channel and streaming app each game is on in the UK.
