Review on Trustpilot
Lloyd Studley from the UK took his son to the Carabao Cup final.
Lloyd left us this review: What a fantastic experience my son and I had at the Carabao Cup final. At first I was sceptical, as I'd been conned on Facebook, but from the moment I purchased, the communication was fantastic – clear, precise and always answering my questions. The seats were amazing and it was a great day, topped off with a City win to make my son's day. Definitely recommend, and I'll be using this company again!

With a capacity of 90,000, Wembley is the largest stadium in the United Kingdom and one of the most iconic football grounds in the world.

The home of the EFL Cup final
Wembley and the EFL Cup final go hand in hand. The old Wembley, with its famous Twin Towers, hosted the final until 2000, and the walk up Wembley Way became part of the fixture's folklore. After a spell at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium in the 2000s while the stadium was rebuilt, the final returned to a brand-new Wembley and has been played there ever since. For supporters, a trip to the EFL Cup final remains one of the great days out in the English game – and the first chance of the season to see a club lift silverware.
EFL Cup winners & records
The EFL Cup was established in 1960 and is the second most important domestic cup in English football after the FA Cup. Aston Villa won the very first competition in 1961. The all-time list of winners is led by the biggest clubs in the land: Liverpool are the most successful side with a record 10 titles, followed by Manchester City on 9. Manchester City are the current holders, having beaten Arsenal 2-0 at Wembley in the 2026 final – their ninth League Cup and Pep Guardiola's fifth.

Famous EFL Cup finals
Because the EFL Cup is open to all 92 clubs and the biggest sides often rotate their squads, the competition has a long history of unlikely finalists and famous upsets. Here are a few of the finals that capture the magic of the competition.
- Queens Park Rangers (1967) – third-tier QPR won the first single-leg final at Wembley, coming from behind to beat First Division West Bromwich Albion.
- Swindon Town (1969) – another third-tier side, Swindon stunned Arsenal to lift the trophy in one of the great cup final shocks.
- Luton Town (1988) – Luton beat a strong Arsenal side in a dramatic final to win the first major trophy in the club's history.
- Birmingham City (2011) – Birmingham beat Arsenal to claim the cup, a rare piece of silverware for the club and one of the competition's biggest upsets.
- Swansea City & Bradford City (2013) – Swansea won their first major trophy against Bradford City, who had become the first fourth-tier club to reach a major Wembley final.
- Newcastle United (2025) – Newcastle beat Liverpool to win the competition and end a 70-year wait for a major domestic trophy.
History
The EFL Cup was established in 1960 as a knockout competition for all the clubs of the Football League. For its first six seasons the final was played over two legs, before the first single-leg final was held at Wembley in 1967. Since then the showpiece has become a fixture of the English football calendar, giving smaller clubs the chance of a day out at the national stadium and the biggest clubs the first trophy of the season to chase. Known today for sponsorship reasons as the Carabao Cup, it has also been called the League Cup for most of its history.
Format
The EFL Cup is a straight knockout competition open to all 92 clubs of the Premier League and the English Football League. One of its distinctive traditions is that the semi-finals are played over two legs, home and away, before the two winners meet in a single-match final at Wembley. If the final is level after 90 minutes, it goes to extra time, and if the scores are still level, the trophy is decided by a penalty shoot-out.
Why the EFL Cup final matters
As the first major domestic trophy of the season, the EFL Cup final is the earliest chance for a club to end a campaign with silverware – and for many clubs it is the biggest day in their history. As well as the trophy, the winners earn a place in European football: the EFL Cup winners qualify for the Conference League. If the winners have already qualified for Europe through their league position, that place passes to the highest-placed club that hasn't yet qualified. It all adds up to a showpiece where the sense of occasion – the walk out at Wembley, the lifting of the trophy – is unlike almost anything else in the English game, which is exactly why demand for EFL Cup final tickets is always so high.
