Description

The 2026 EFL Cup final was the final match of the 2025–26 EFL Cup. The match took place on 22 March 2026 at Wembley Stadium in London, England, between rivals Arsenal and Manchester City. The clubs have met in the 2018 EFL Cup final as well as the 2014 and 2023 FA Community Shields—with the latter being Arsenal's most recent competitive title.

This was Arsenal's ninth League Cup final, the first EFL Cup final since losing to City in 2018, and the first appearance in any final since the 2020 FA Cup final. They were seeking their first major trophy since winning the 2019–20 FA Cup and a first League Cup title since 1993.

This was Manchester City's tenth League Cup final and the first EFL Cup final since their most recent win in 2021 to secure their eighth overall and joint-record fourth consecutive title. They were looking for their first major cup competition title since winning the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League.
