When is the 2025 Carabao Cup final? Wembley date and kick-off time

The Carabao Cup is the first domestic cup competition of the season, with all 92 sides in the EFL and the Premier League competing for a chance to lift the trophy.

Seven knockout rounds are traditionally played over a single leg – except the semi-final which is over two – with the final taking place at Wembley Stadium.

It is often seen as a lesser trophy than the FA Cup, although it provides a chance for sides to qualify for Europe, and the earlier final makes it the first chance for players to get their hands on silverware.

Liverpool, the defending champions after beating Chelsea 0-1 in last year’s final after extra-time, are on the brink of retaining their title under new boss Arne Slot after coming from behind to beat Tottenham in the semi-finals.

The Premier League leaders will face Newcastle, who knocked out Arsenal in the last four and are bidding to land their first major title since 1955.

You can find all the Carabao Cup odds on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise, here’s everything you need to know about the first final of the campaign.
