Tottenham to host Charlton in Carabao Cup second round at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Aug 26
Tottenham Hotspur will host Charlton Athletic at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, in a second‑round Carabao Cup tie, with kick‑off scheduled for 7.45pm BST.
Spurs arrive after a 3-0 defeat to Brentford in their Premier League opener and have invested in the summer, spending over £300 million in the transfer window; manager Roberto De Zerbi admitted his side did not “fight the right way.” He will be seeking an improved performance from a squad he expects to regain form against EFL Championship opposition.
Tottenham’s recent signings include Savio – not Savinho – from Manchester City, with Omar Marmoush reported to be set to follow soon; Savio is unlikely to feature heavily in this match and De Zerbi is expected to largely retain the XI he used against Brentford.
Charlton have started their EFL Championship campaign strongly, recording wins in their opening two fixtures against Derby County and West Ham United, and the Addicks will be aiming for an upset at Spurs.
For viewers in India the match will kick off at 12:15 AM IST on Thursday, August 27, and will be available to stream on the FanCode app and website; there will be no television broadcast of the tie in India.
Broadcasters for other territories are listed as Sky Go, Sky Go Extra, Sky Ultra HD, Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Football and NOW in the UK; StarTimes Sports Focus and the StarTimes App in Nigeria; and Paramount+ in the USA.
A Charlton victory would see them into the Carabao Cup third round for only the second time in a decade, with the pair contesting this second‑round tie to determine who progresses.
