EFL has announced the introduction of an initial round to the Carabau Cup for the 2025/26 season.
This change in coordination is due to the fact that nine teams from the Premier League will participate in the European competition.
Since the 1996/1997 campaign, the teams of the highest trip to Europe have received automatically in the third round.
Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, Newcastle and Tottenham in the Champions League will be played next season, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace – as in the European League, where Nottingham Forest qualified in the conference league.
Therefore, to reduce the number of teams in the first round and the second round – in order to absorb all nine teams mentioned above – you will participate in four teams in the initial round.
The two clubs that were promoted from the National League – Barnit and their son – and the teams that occupied 21 and 22 in the second league – will be Akrington and Niobport.
As in the first round, relationships will be reduced, so Accharington will play Oldham and Barnet the NewPort will play.
The tie will be tied for the host team at the same time that the first round will be tied on Thursday 26 June at 4:30 pm, on the air Sky Sports News.
