The Carabao Cup is back for another season and yet again revolves around one enduring question – can anyone wrest the trophy from Manchester City?

City have had a stranglehold on the tournament in recent years, claiming 5 of the past 6 competitions and 4 straight overall. It has drawn them level with Liverpool for the all-time record on 8 titles.

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.
