Subway Women’s League Cup fixtures confirmed

Manchester City are set to face Everton as the group stage 2025/26 Subway Women’s League Cup fixtures are confirmed.

Chelsea beat Man City 2-1 in the final of last year’s competition with a goal from Mayra Ramirez and an own goal from Yui Hasegawa in the 77th minute to win it.

Because of their involvement in next year’s UEFA Women’s Champions League Arsenal and Chelsea will enter the League Cup at the quarter-final stage.

Manchester United will also enter at the quarter-final stage as they could still qualify for the Champions League or drop down into the UEFA Women’s Europa League, but if they miss out on both they will be entered into the group stage of the League Cup.
