The Carabao Cup is back – and you can watch the draw for the first round of the 2024/25 competition live on Sky Sports on Thursday June 27.

The draw for the first round of this season’s tournament will take place at 11.30am, live on Sky Sports News – and you can also watch a live stream of the draw on skysports.com and the Sky Sports app.

In the first and second round of this season’s tournament the draw will continue to be regionalised, with the 32-team southern section and 38-team northern section drawn against another side from their region.

Luton and Burnley, who finished 18th and 19th respectively in last season’s Premier League, will enter the competition in the second round, as well as the 13 current Premier League clubs not involved in European competition.

The remaining seven – Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester United will all enter the tournament from the third-round stage.

For the first time, you can watch every Carabao Cup game live on Sky Sports through the new Sky Sports+ streaming service, available to all Sky Sports customers at no extra cost.
