How to watch the 67th Carabao Cup (EFL Cup) in India

Select matches from the 67th EFL Cup, the Carabao Cup taking place in England from August 1, 2026, will be available to viewers in India via live streaming.

Founded in 1960 as the Football League Cup, the tournament is the second major domestic cup competition in English men's football alongside the FA Cup. Manchester City are the reigning champions after beating Arsenal 2-0 in the 2025-26 final; that victory was City's ninth Carabao Cup title, while Liverpool remain the competition's most successful club with 10 wins.

The competition comprises all 92 clubs from the Premier League and the English Football League. Entry is staged by club status: Premier League teams not involved in European competition join in the second round, while Premier League clubs that are competing in Europe enter at the third-round stage.

The EFL Cup winner will receive the tournament trophy and a place in the UEFA Conference League play-off round. If the cup winner has already secured European qualification by other means, the Conference League play-off spot transfers to the next-highest-ranked Premier League club outside the European qualification places.

Enzo Maresca’s Manchester City will attempt to defend the title amid a field that includes reigning Premier League champions Arsenal, as well as Chelsea, Manchester United and other challengers.

In India, select fixtures will be streamed on the FanCode app and website; there will be no television broadcast of the games in the country.
