The 2023 EFL Cup final was the final of the 2022–23 EFL Cup. It was played between Manchester United and Newcastle United at Wembley Stadium in London on 26 February 2023.[4] This was Newcastle's first final since the 1999 FA Cup final, in which Manchester United defeated them 2–0.
Newcastle were aiming to end one of the longest trophy droughts in English football,[5] with their last major honour being the 1968–69 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup.[6] However, the scoreline from 1999 was repeated, as Manchester United won their first competitive trophy since 2017.[7]
Both clubs were allocated 867 tickets in safe standing areas of Wembley, making this the first major domestic English men's final in nearly 35 years to allow supporters to stand.[8] On the morning of the final, the Met Police estimated at least 100,000 Newcastle United fans, with and without tickets, were in and around Wembley.[9]
