English Football League Cup

The English football season has two major domestic cups – the FA Cup and the League Cup. In this guide, we’ll be explaining how you can bet on the latter. The League Cup is often referred to by its sponsorship name, so you may know it better as the Carabao Cup.

Let’s dive in and find out how you can bet on the epic footballing competition that involves clubs from the top four divisions in the English football pyramid.

If you want the latest League Cup odds, you’ve come to the right place. At Betfair, you can bet on the annual tournament from its initial phases, when the preliminary round takes place in early August. The competition runs until close to the end of the season, with the final taking place at Wembley around early March.

When you bet on the League Cup with us, you have the choice of using the regular Sportsbook or the Exchange. Both come with real-time odds, and you can bet before or during matches.

You can choose among the great variety of English Football League Cup betting options available, including betting on Man City in Winner 2026/27 at odds of 2.5, Everton in Everton v Newcastle at odds of 2.3, Man City in Man City v Bradford at odds of 1.07, Liverpool in Liverpool v Bournemouth at odds of 1.5.

Bet on popular English Football League Cup markets such as English Football League Cup, Everton v Newcastle, Man City v Bradford, Liverpool v Bournemouth, Crystal Palace v Sunderland.

Here at Betfair, we offer League Cup odds in your preferred style. Just go to Settings and choose whether you want to see them listed as fractional or decimal.

If they’re fractional, you can work out how much you stand to win by multiplying your stake by the numerator divided by the denominator. For example, if you stake 10 with 5/1, you win 50 back, plus your original stake. With decimal odds, this would be listed as 6, and you simply multiply it by your stake to find your total returns.

If you choose to bet on the exchange, you’ll be betting against other Betfair members. When you back an event, that means you’re staking on that thing happening. If you choose to lay an event, you effectively bet on that event not happening and offer odds to another player.

There are loads of ways to bet on the League Cup, and we offer them all here at Betfair. One thing that our bettors love to do is place an Outright bet on who they think will win the competition. You can place these at any stage of the tournament – it doesn’t have to be right at the start.
