League Cup scorigami

Every League Cup result on one grid

Every League Cup match since 1960/61, by its score with the home side first, as on the home grid: home goals along the bottom, away goals up the side. Each square counts the matches that ended that way, and an empty square is a result the League Cup has never had. Select a square to see its matches.

2026/27 so far: 78 matches, none of them a new result.

How the counting works

Every match of the League Cup counts, from its first round, and so do replays and both legs of a two-legged tie. A score is the one after extra time: a match won on penalties is a draw on the grid, the shoot-out noted beside it. At a neutral ground, such as Wembley for the final, the side named first counts as the home side. Walkovers, byes and void or abandoned matches aren't matches.

The results to 2018/19 are from engsoccerdata (James Curley), checked where other sources overlap it: nine scores and eight dates it had wrong are corrected. 2019/20 to 2024/25 are from openfootball, and the seasons since from Wikipedia's League Cup season articles, read again every morning, so this season's results arrive the day after they're played.
