With the renaming of the <a href="/wiki/Football_League" class="mw-redirect" title="Football League">Football League</a> as the English Football League in 2016, the tournament was rebranded as the EFL Cup from the <a href="/wiki/2016%E2%80%9317_EFL_Cup" title="2016–17 EFL Cup">2016–17 season</a> onwards. </p><p>The tournament is played over seven rounds, with single-leg ties throughout, except for the semi-finals.
