The second-round draw for the 2026-27 Carabao Cup will take place on Monday, 10 August at about 19:20 BST.<\/b><\/p>\n

Eleven Premier League clubs join the 35 first-round winners from across the English Football League.<\/p>\n

Brentford, Chelsea, Fulham, Newcastle United, Everton, Leeds United, Nottingham Forest, Tottenham Hotspur, Coventry City, Ipswich Town and Hull City are the top-flight teams who will enter Monday’s draw.<\/p>\n

It will take place live on Sky Sports before the final first-round tie, a Devon derby between League One side Plymouth Argyle and arch-rivals Exeter City, of League Two.<\/p>\n

The first two rounds of the draw are regionalised, with teams split into northern and southern sections.<\/p>\n

While the primary deciding factor for the regional splits is geographical, other factors – such as making sure there is a fair balance in competition between the two sections – are considered. <\/p>\n

This explains why Walsall are in the southern section and West Bromwich Albion, located about five miles south of Walsall, are in the northern section.<\/p>\n

The second round will be played in the week commencing Monday, 24 August.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
