The 2023-24 Carabao Cup is all set to go live this week. It’s the 64th season of the EFL Cup. The tournament is often known as the Carabao Cup for sponsorship reasons. It is open to all the clubs taking part in the Premier League and the English Football League. With over 92 teams taking part in this year’s EFL Cup, here’s how you can live stream all the game at home without cable.
Attention, FireStick Users!
Governments and ISPs constantly monitor your online activity, and accessing copyrighted content on your Fire TV Stick could lead to serious trouble. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone. I strongly recommend getting the best FireStick VPN to mask your IP address and securely stream your favorites.
I personally use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN available. Not only is it easy to install on any device, it comes with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee. Plus, if you're not 100% satisfied, you can always get a refund. ExpressVPN is currently also offering a whopping 3 extra months free on their annual plan!

The 2023-24 Carabao Cup — Preview
Last year’s Carabao Cup final took place at Wembley Stadium between Manchester United and Newcastle. Thanks to stellar performances from Marcus Rashford and Casemiro, Manchester United beat Newcastle by 2-0.
Premier League teams will enter the competition in the second round, and the ones taking part in a European competition should start from the third round of the tournament. While there are several interesting matchups to look forward to, I’m really excited for Leeds hosting Shrewsbury Town, Leicester going against Burton and Southampton vs. Gillingham.
Wrexham is all set to return to the EFL Cup against Wigan. All the Championship League One and League Two clubs enter in the first round. In the second round, we have 12 Premier League clubs joining the Carabao Cup to spice up things. In the third round, we have 16 games that involve Premier League clubs (who have joined the European competition).
After that, we have the fourth round, quarterfinals, semi-finals, and the ultimate final on 25 February 2024. Before we talk about streaming options, let’s have a look at the entire EFL Cup 2023-24 schedule.

Watch the EFL Cup on FireStick in the US
Disney’s ESPN has the streaming right to air the EFL Cup in the US. Cord-cutters can stream all the Carabao Cup matches via the company’s ESPN+ service in the region. You can go with ESPN+ as well as the Disney bundle that combines all three streaming services – Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu. Let’s check both the offering in detail.
ESPN+
ESPN+ is a must-have streaming service for sports fans in the US. It has a large library of sports events like Bundesliga, NFL, NBA, Tennis, Cricket, and more.
Disney has recently hiked the prices from $6.99 to $9.99 per month. The yearly prices have seen a similar hike too. I advise starting with a monthly plan, and if you like the offering, upgrade to a yearly subscription. ESPN+ is strictly limited to sports content only. It doesn’t have live TV channels, DVR storage, or any other fancy features. If you want more, go with the Disney bundle.

Disney Bundle
Disney offers the perfect bundle to cord-cutters. You can sign-up for any pack and stream the entire EFL Cup without cable via the ESPN+ service. Apart from ESPN+, you can also use Disney+ and Hulu content. It unlocks entertainment, news, kids, and more content on your smart TV.
The pricing starts at $13.99 per month, and the ad-free plan costs $19.99 per month. If you want live TV channels, be prepared to shell out $72.99 every month. You can stream 75+ live TV channels and enjoy unlimited DVR storage to record your favorite live events and watch them at your convenience.

Stream the Carabao Cup on FireStick in Canada
DAZN (pronounced as da-zone), the popular sports streaming service, has the license to air the 2023-24 Carabao Cup in Canada. It’s the most popular sports network in Canada for the cord-cutters. And for good reasons, too.
You can watch the NFL, Champions League, Premier League, and many well-known sports events with your subscription. The pricing starts at CA$ 24.99 per month or CA$ 249.99 per year. DAZN hosts high-profile boxing fights throughout the year. It’s another bonus to an already rich sports library. DAZN official apps are available on all smart TV platforms, including the Fire TV.

Watch the EFL Cup on FireStick in the UK
Sky Sports will stream the EFL Cup in the UK. The company offers several sports plans to choose from. Interested users can subscribe to the Complete Sky Sports pack at £22 per month. It is good enough to air all the Sky Sports events in the region.
However, the Sky Sports apps are limited to mobile platforms only; FireStick users need to sideload the Sky Go mobile app on their devices to start streaming. Since it’s not optimized for a smart TV, you may be left wanting more. If you want a native streaming experience, go with NOW TV. It houses all the 11 Sky Sports channels to stream at home. The prices start at £33.99 per month.

Live Stream the EFL Cup on FireStick for Free (Unofficial Apps)
Legal Disclaimer: This tutorial is purely educational. FireStickTricks.com doesn’t own, host, operate, resell, or distribute any streaming apps, addons, websites, IPTV or services. The page contains some unverified services, and we are not certain whether they hold legal licenses to distribute the content. FireStickTricks.com does not verify the legality of each app/service in all regions. Do your due diligence if you use any of the unverified apps/services, and stream only content that is available in the public domain. The end-user shall be solely responsible for the media accessed.
None of the streaming services offer a free trial. Besides, the EFL Cup goes on for around 7 months. If you want to stream the entire Carabao Cup for free, go with third-party apps on FireStick. These apps offer unlimited sports and entertainment content, PPV events, live TV channels, and much more without paying a single dime.
However, you should be careful before starting streaming from unofficial apps on FireStick. It’s important to hide your IP address and FireStick browsing history with ExpressVPN. Here’s why.
The mentioned apps and services below are unavailable from the Amazon App Store. They are called ‘Unofficial’ for this reason. FireStickTricks can’t confirm if they have the official license to air the EFL Cup in your region.
If you accidently end up watching unlicensed content from these apps, you may land yourself in legal trouble. It’s important to hide your location and FireStick history with ExpressVPN. It’s the best VPN app to create a private browsing setup at home or office.
Step 1: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it free for the first 30-days and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.
Step 2: Power ON your Fire TV Stick and go to Find followed by Search option.
Step 3: Now type “Expressvpn” (without quotes) in the search bar and select ExpressVPN when it shows up in the search results.
Step 4: Click Download to install the ExpressVPN app on Fire TV / Stick.
Step 5: Open the app and enter the login credentials that you created while buying the ExpressVPN subscription. Click Sign in.
Step 6: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for FireStick.

Sports Apps and Kodi Addons
There is no shortage of third-party sports apps on FireStick. You can pick a couple of apps from the list and start watching the Carabao Cup for free.
You can also go with Kodi to unlock sports streaming on FireStick. Kodi is unavailable on the Amazon AppStore. You can check my dedicated guide to install Kodi on FireStick and integrate the top sports Kodi addons to start watching the EFL Cup matches for free.
Sports Streaming Websites
You should launch the Silk browser on FireStick and visit the top sports websites to start watching the EFL Cup games for free. The experience isn’t ideal, though. You may need to deal with frequent ads and trackers. I advise setting up an ExpressVPN connection before streaming content from these websites.
IPTV Providers
IPTV services unlock unlimited entertainment and sports content on your Fire TV. You can go with any solid and reputed IPTV provider and set it up with an IPTV player like TiviMate to start watching the EFL Cup games.
