EFL Carabao Cup 2022-23 Prize Money
The EFL Carabao Cup is an annual knockout football competition in men’s domestic English football. Organized by the English Football League. The EFL Carabao Cup was first held in 1960–61 as the Football League Cup, it is one of the three top-tier domestic football competitions in England, alongside the Premier League and FA Cup. The tournament is played over seven rounds, with single-leg ties throughout, except for the semi-finals. The final is held at Wembley Stadium which is the only tie in the competition played at a neutral venue and on a weekend.
2022-23 is the 63rd season of the EFL Carabao Cup. The competition is open to all clubs participating in the Premier League and the English Football League. This is the first season in which the winner of the competition will be qualified for the play-off round of the UEFA Europa Conference League rather than the second qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League. It is also the first season where the semi-finals will be single matches, instead of a two-legged fixture.
In the UK, the Carabao Cup final will be broadcast on the Sky Sports network, on the Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports Main Event channels, as well as Sky Go. In the U.S, ESPN will broadcast the Carabao Cup final.
