The Carabao Cup is boiling to a head in 2025, and a new TV deal has kicked into force just in time for the semi-finals.

Coverage of the domestic cup competition has been exclusively live on Sky Sports since the start of the season, but certain games will be sub-licensed to ITV, meaning fans can tune in on free-to-air TV.

The return of club football to ITV will delight fans across the nation, with a number of Championship games also set to be shown on the main channel and streaming platform ITVX.

The semi-finals first-leg clash between Arsenal and Newcastle will be the first game shown live on ITV, while Liverpool's second-leg clash with Tottenham will be broadcast in February.

RadioTimes.com brings you a round-up of every Carabao Cup match you can watch live on ITV this season.
