When is the 2024 Carabao Cup final? Date, time of League Cup title match at Wembley Stadium

The 2024 Carabao Cup final will include two different teams from the 2023 showpiece between Manchester United and Newcastle United at Wembley Stadium.

Erik ten Hag sealed a first title as Red Devils manager as his team edged out the Magpies 2-0, but both teams were eliminated from the 2023/24 campaign before the semifinal stage. Newcastle defeated Man United 3-0 at Old Trafford but were then knocked out by Chelsea via a penalty shootout in the quarterfinals.
