Carabao Cup 2nd round results and highlights after 2022/23 League Cup draw image

The 2022/23 Carabao Cup 2nd Round has been completed with a total of 25 matches taking place between Tuesday and Wednesday, August 23-24.

The 2nd Round is the stage when 13 Premier League clubs not involved in European cup competitions enter the tournament, and so far nine of 10 have advanced to the next round. Fulham were the only top-flight club to go out after fielding a reserve side against League Two club Crawley Town and paying the price.   

Two other Premier League sides needed penalty kicks to oust lower-division opposition. Leicester City needed a shootout to get past League Two's Stockport County, and Bournemouth advanced against Norwich City via spot kicks.

Below are all the results accompanied by available highlights. The final four matches of the round took place on Wednesday with Newcastle United, Leeds United and Brighton all progressing.

After the 2nd Round concludes in August, the next set of Carabao Cup matches will come just before the World Cup break in November.

Carabao Cup dates 2022/23

  • 1st Round: Aug. 9-11
  • 2nd Round: Aug. 23-25
  • 3rd Round (Rd of 32): Nov. 8-10

Is there extra time in Carabao Cup 2nd Round?

The 2nd Round will unfold just like the previous one with single-elimination knockout round matches that must produce a winner on the night. 

But if teams are level after 90 minutes, they will go straight to penalty kicks in the 2nd Round. Extra time does not come into play until the two-leg semifinal stage. There, if clubs are tied on aggregate at the end of the semifinal second leg, they will play 30 minutes of extra time. If a winner does not emerge during extra time, a penalty kick shootout will decide the semifinal winner.

The tournament final at Wembley Stadium will also feature extra time and penalty kicks, if necessary. Both came into play during the Liverpool vs. Chelsea final in the most recent edition, where a penalty shootout saw the goalkeepers take attempts as the shootout finished 11-10 in favor of Liverpool.
