Ligacup-pokal ved Old Trafford Museum

Den engelske ligacupen, offisielt English Football League Cup (EFL Cup, norsk: EFL-cupen), er en engelsk årlig fotballturnering. Turneringen ble startet i 1960 under navnet Football League Cup.

Mens FA-cupen omfatter alle engelske fotballklubber, er turneringen forbeholdt profesjonelle lag i de fire øverste divisjonene. Dette innebærer at bare de 92 lagene i The Football League og Premier League kan delta. Vinneren av turneringen blir kvalifisert for Serieligaen dersom de ikke allerede er kvalifisert for spill i Europa.

Ligacupens navn

Siden 1982 har ligacupen fått navn etter sponsoren av turneringen. I 2016 fikk cupen det offisielle navnet English Football League Cup, forkortet til EFL Cup og cupen ble ikke gitt navn etter sponsor dette året. Fra og med 2017/18-turneringen har cupen igjen fått sponsorens navn.
