Carabao Cup fixtures 2022/23: Draw, results, dates, times, TV channel and live streams for every round to final
A total of 92 clubs will be battling to succeed Liverpool as winners of the 2022/23 Carabao Cup, also known as the League Cup or EFL Cup, which is the first major domestic cup to be awarded each year in England.
Liverpool defeated Chelsea in the final of the 2021/22 edition after a memorable penalty shoot-out decided the clash between the two Premier League heavyweights. Liverpool defeated Norwich City (3rd round), Preston North End (4th round), Leicester City (quarter-finals) and Arsenal (semi-finals) en route to the title.
The 92 clubs taking part in the tournament come from the top four tiers of English football: Premier League (20 clubs), Championship (24 clubs), League One (24) and League Two (24).
The 13 Premier League clubs not participating in European cup competitions participate in the 2nd round and the remaining seven teams participate in the 3rd round.
- 1 round: 9th-11th August
- 2nd round: 23-25 August
- 3rd round (round of 32): 8th-10th November
- 4th round (round of 16): 20-22 December
- Quarter finals: 10-12 January
- Semifinals: 24-26 January (stage 1), 31 January–2 2 (stage 2)
- Final: Sun, February 26th
Each round is single-elimination except for the semifinals, which are played over two legs (no away goals tiebreak). There is no overtime up to and including the quarter-finals, after 90 minutes it goes straight to penalties.
However, extra time will apply to the semi-final second legs and the final if necessary.
The final traditionally takes place at Wembley Stadium in London.

Results of the 1st round of the Carabao Cup
It was a disastrous Round 1 for Championship clubs, with 12 of the 14 teams in action to date being eliminated outright from the knockout tournament.
And two more will be fought in the remaining games as the two All-Championship bouts are on the schedule.
It is guaranteed that the 3rd tier league one and 4th tier league two will have more representatives than the championship in the 2nd round.

Why is it called the Carabao Cup?
The KO tournament has long been known as League Cup or EFL Cup as it is organized by the English Football League which consists of the second tier championship, third tier league one and fourth tier league two.
From the 1990s, sponsors began to associate their name with this tournament and the sponsor names caught on: Coca-Cola Cup, Worthington’s Cup and Carling Cup.
The most recent sponsor is Thai energy drink company Carabao, which bought the title rights to the Knockout tournament from the 2017/18 edition, resulting in the use of the Carabao Cup nickname.
