League Cup – Key Differences
Cup-tied
Once a Player takes part in the League Cup, the Player is cup-tied under the Competition rule.
Semi-Final / Final
Player must have at least 3 League or League Cup appearances for the Club by the original tie date.
Team Sheet
Present to the Referee at least 45 minutes before kick-off.
Extra time
None. Level knockout ties go directly to penalties.
Penalties
U12–U18: 5 kicks each, followed by sudden death if still level.
Officials
Match Official fees and applicable mileage are split 50/50; each Team pays its share directly.
Postponements & Abandonments
Use the League's approved postponement process and notify affected Clubs, Match Officials and the League as soon as a fixture cannot proceed.
Where an abandoned fixture must be replayed, Clubs should agree a new date within 14 days.
Where a fixture is not played through neither Club's fault, the adopted Match Official entitlement is half fee.
After the Match
Safeguarding, Conduct & Inclusion
Safeguarding first
Follow FA safeguarding requirements and report concerns through the proper welfare route.
Respect
Coaches are responsible for setting standards around players, assistants and the technical area.
Inclusion
