Draw:
The prize for winning the 2020-21 Carabao Cup final was £100,000, which is roughly $136,000. The runner-up received £50,000 ($68k) for their trouble.
Compared with England’s other competitions, such as the Premier League and FA Cup, the prize money for the Carabao Cup is relatively low.
However, winning the trophy does offer a route into European competition, with a place in the Europa Conference League an associated reward. The draw for the third round of the Carabao Cup was made on August 25, following the last second round games. Games were played on the week commencing September 20.
