Where to watch the Carabao Cup in Australia

Way to watch	Cost	What to know

Some older beIN pages still show $15.99 and $159.99 for CONNECT. Foxtel and Kayo dropped beIN on 30 June 2023, so neither includes the Cup. Foxtel added the beIN SPORTS CONNECT app to some of its iQ boxes in July 2025, but it needs a separate beIN subscription. A CONNECT subscription also includes full match replays and highlights packages. Our beIN SPORTS guide covers the rest of its football.

The rest of the 2026-27 Carabao Cup

The Cup began in August with 92 clubs. Every tie is a single match until the semi-finals, which are played over two legs.

Stage	When (UK dates)
Round of 16	Week of 26 October, with Liverpool v Chelsea on Wednesday 28 October UK time
Quarter-finals	Week of 14 December
Semi-finals, first legs	Week of 11 January 2027
Semi-finals, second legs	Week of 1 February 2027
Final	Sunday 21 March 2027, Wembley

The quarter-final draw is made after Liverpool v Chelsea on the night of 28 October UK time, and the semi-final draw is provisionally on Wednesday 16 December. Manchester City are the holders after beating Arsenal in the 2026 final. The eight round of 16 ties are Bradford City v Peterborough, Fleetwood Town v Arsenal, Manchester City v Brighton, Bournemouth v Aston Villa, Fulham v Crystal Palace, Sunderland v Brentford, Liverpool v Chelsea and Everton v Newcastle United. beIN lists each with its Australian time, between 6:30am and 7am AEDT.

Kick-off times in Australia

The UK clocks went back on 25 October 2026. Until they go forward on 28 March 2027, Sydney and Melbourne are 11 hours ahead of England, so a 7:45pm kick-off in England starts at 6:45am the next morning and an 8pm kick-off at 7am. That matches beIN's listings this week: Fleetwood Town v Arsenal was at 7am AEDT on Wednesday 28 October, and Liverpool v Chelsea is at 7am on Thursday 29 October. Brisbane is 10 hours ahead and Perth 8. The quarter-finals and semi-finals are usually played midweek in the UK evening, so expect most of the remaining ties to start around 7am in Sydney and Melbourne. Check beIN's TV guide for exact times once they are published.

Which option is cheapest?

The Cup has few playing dates left: the week of 14 December, the weeks of 11 January and 1 February, and 21 March. If you only want the Cup, CONNECT's monthly plan costs $16.99. The annual plan works out to about $14.17 a month, which makes more sense if you will also watch the EFL Championship, Serie A or the Bundesliga on beIN. See our EFL Championship guide.
