How to watch Carabao Cup matches live online in Australia

The Carabao Cup is back for another season and yet again in 2021/22 it revolved around one enduring question – could anyone wrest the trophy from Manchester City?

The answer finally is yes. City had a stranglehold on the tournament in recent years, claiming 5 of the past 6 competitions and 4 straight overall. It drew them level with Liverpool for the all-time record on 8 titles.

But that incredible run was finally snapped by West Ham in the round of 16. Who prevails this year and, more importantly, how can you tune in?

Watch the Carabao Cup with Foxtel iQ

Foxtel iQ is the only way you can watch content in 4K in Australia, which is a stunning experience for sports fans. However, there are a few items you have to take care of before you can begin watching sport on Foxtel. All users are required to have a subscription to the base Plus package at $49/month, the Sport HD package on top of this is another $25/month, which means you'll be paying $74/month.

This is an easy upgrade for existing customers, but new Foxtel customers will have to consider installation costs and a possible waiting period for install.

Stream Carabao Cup with Foxtel Now

If you like the appeal of Foxtel iQ but were hoping for a cheaper price, then Foxtel Now might be for you. Programs are only available in HD and you're still required to have the Essentials pack but it isn't as costly at a total of $54/month. The platform also still doesn't stack up to Kayo if you just want to compare sports content and viewing features. Foxtel Now has a 10-day free trial for new customers.

Carabao Cup competition format

The 2021/22 Carabao Cup is the 62nd season of what is traditionally known as the EFL Cup or the League Cup. Round 3 is when the Premier League clubs enter the competition. It is also when the Carabao Cup traditionally starts to dish up some surprise results.

All clubs from the EFL and EPL feature in the competition. The competition has returned to its usual format. Sides compete in a straight knockout format up until the semi-finals, which use the home-and-away format.

The final is set to be played at London's Wembley Stadium on 27 February 2022, where the winner qualifies for the following season's Europa League.
