Carabao Cup All Winners (1961-2024) | EFL Cup

The Carabao Cup, also known as the EFL Cup, is one of England's premier knockout football competitions, organized by the English Football League (EFL). Open to the 92 clubs in the Premier League and the EFL's Championship, League One, and League Two, it offers a unique and inclusive format that brings together teams from different tiers of English football. The competition begins with the first round involving lower league teams, while top-tier Premier League clubs enter in later rounds, ensuring a mix of underdog stories and high-profile clashes. Matches are single-leg affairs up to the semi-finals, which are played over two legs, culminating in a final held at Wembley Stadium.

Winning the Carabao Cup is a prestigious achievement, providing the victor with not only the trophy but also a place in the UEFA Europa Conference League, adding significant stakes to the competition. The tournament is known for its exciting and unpredictable nature, with smaller clubs often having the opportunity to challenge and sometimes defeat top-flight teams. This unpredictability, along with the chance for silverware early in the calendar year, makes the Carabao Cup a beloved fixture in the English football season, celebrated for its thrilling matches and the opportunity it offers for clubs to make history.
