How to Watch the 2026 Carabao Cup Live in the United States
Carabao Cup coverage in the United States is centred on CBS Sports, with Paramount+ carrying most live matches across the competition, from the early ties in August through to the final in March. The service also provides full-match replays, giving supporters a way to follow both lower-division cup runs and the involvement of Premier League clubs.
Some of the competition’s more prominent fixtures can also be selected for television coverage on CBS Sports Network. The channel is available through providers including Fubo and DirecTV, although Paramount+ remains the principal streaming option for the tournament.
Supporters seeking short-term access have fewer direct trial options than in previous seasons. Paramount+ has largely ended its separate seven-day free trial, but a Walmart+ introductory offer can still provide access. Walmart+ is offering a 30-day trial that includes the Paramount+ Essential plan without an additional subscription charge, allowing eligible viewers to watch Carabao Cup matches during that period before cancelling if they do not wish to continue.
The 30-day Walmart+ option can cover a significant portion of the schedule, including major late-season matches and the 2026 final where dates align with the trial period. Availability, plan terms and cancellation conditions may change, so viewers should check the relevant service before signing up.
Carabao Cup broadcasts on Paramount+ do not include Spanish-language commentary. Fans travelling outside the United States should also be aware that streaming access is governed by territorial broadcast rights, with coverage arrangements differing from country to country.
