EFL Cup

Who plays · Four League Two clubs — York City, Rochdale, Tranmere Rovers and Crawley Town: the two promoted into the division and the two lowest finishers not relegated, per the EFL's revised format — trim the field by two.

Draw · Made 3 June 2026.

When · Tranmere v Rochdale on Saturday 1 August, York v Crawley on Monday 3 August 2026.

How it works · One match at the first-drawn club's ground; level after ninety minutes goes straight to penalties — no replays and, before the semi-finals, no extra time.
