The League Cup final for the 2024-2025 season is set for March 16, 2025, where Liverpool will defend their title against Newcastle United. This delay from the traditional February date is attributed to a congested football schedule influenced by a new Champions League 'League Phase', requiring teams to play more matches. The resulting conflicts with existing competitions forced the postponement of critical fixtures and rescheduling of the semi-finals, causing the final to be pushed back significantly this year. Newcastle seeks to end a long trophy drought, making it a pivotal match for both clubs.
Liverpool, as League Cup holders, will face Newcastle in a final set for March 16, 2025, due to scheduling conflicts in the congested football calendar.
The EFL Cup final is later due to the new Champions League 'League Phase' structure, which requires teams to play eight games, impacting domestic timetables.
