When is the Carabao Cup 2025 Final?

Carabao Cup 2025 Final date: The title clash between Liverpool and Newcastle United will be staged at the Wembley Stadium in London on Sunday, March 16th, 2025, a day before St Patrick's Day. Kick-off time has not yet been confirmed, but the 2024 final kicked off at 3 PM Local Time (8:30 PM IST).

How is the EFL Cup Final decided?

Unlike the semi-finals, where two legs decided the outcome, the final will be decided in just a single match. If the two teams are not separated at the end of regulation time, then the match will head into 30 minutes of extra time and possibly penalties if it's still a deadlock.

Although there was no extra time till the quarterfinal stages, the additional 30 minutes are used in the Carabao Cup from the semi-finals and onwards. So, the winner will be decided on the given day even if the match ends in a draw via a penalty shootout.
