The 2020–21 EFL Cup was the 61st season of the EFL Cup (known as the Carabao Cup for sponsorship reasons), the competition is open to all clubs participating in the Premier League and the English Football League.

Manchester City were the three-time defending champions, having retained the trophy in 2020, defeating Aston Villa in the final at Wembley Stadium in London on 1 March 2020.[3][4] This was the first season that the winner of the competition qualified for the play-off round of the newly introduced UEFA Europa Conference League rather than the second qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League. It was also the first season where the semi-finals were single matches, instead of two-legged fixtures.

Manchester City won a fourth consecutive title, defeating Tottenham Hotspur 1–0 in the final and equalling Liverpool's overall tally of eight titles.[5]

Access
