FA Women's League Cup History, Format, Organization, Media Coverage

The Women’s League Cup, previously known as the FA WSL Cup and later the FA Women’s League Cup, is an annual women’s football tournament in England established in 2011. It is the second most important domestic cup competition in English women’s football, following the FA Women’s Cup, and is run by the Women's Professional Leagues Limited (WPLL).

The competition features clubs from the top two English women’s football divisions—the Women’s Super League and the Women’s Championship. Typically, 24 teams participate; however, this number can vary if a club withdraws from the Championship. For instance, in the 2024-25 season, Reading's withdrawal left 23 teams competing.

Held between October and March, the tournament begins with a group stage in which teams are divided into five regional groups (A to E)—two being northern and three southern. Clubs participating in the UEFA Women’s Champions League are exempt from the first round, receiving a bye to the quarterfinals. If any Women’s Super League team reaches the UEFA Women’s Champions League qualifying round but fails to advance to the Competition Proper, they automatically enter the League Cup group stage.

Teams face each other once within their regional group, with the group winner advancing to the knockout stage. Additionally, the best-placed runners-up may qualify if fewer than three Women’s Super League teams receive byes. The knockout stage (quarterfinals, semifinals, and final) follows a single-elimination format, with extra time and penalties used to determine the winner if necessary.
