Carabao Cup draw LIVE!

The draw for the third round of the Carabao Cup is upon us as 32 teams are set to learn their assignments for the next stage of the competition. The Premier League clubs involved in European action this season all enter the fray, though, Crystal Palace aside, will be kept apart amid the significant revamps made to both the Champions League and Europa League by UEFA.

None of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham, Newcastle, Nottingham Forest or Aston Villa can be paired together in round three, with those clubs involved in a pre-draw exercise earlier on tonight that determined who would be playing at home or away. Last night’s winners and the victors of Wednesday night’s remaining second-round fixtures enter proceedings as normal for the main part of the draw, which takes place after the clash between Grimsby and Manchester United.

The northern and southern sections of the draw no longer apply in round three, with no geographical restrictions on any ties at this stage. Follow live coverage below of the draw for the third round of the 2025/26 Carabao Cup!
