It is not that the EFL Cup does not matter for Liverpool, or even that the outcome of the final cannot change the tone of their season. It is simply that its importance to the Premier League champions in waiting is nothing to Newcastle United,

The 2025 matchup features Liverpool F.C. taking on Newcastle United F.C. at Wembley Stadium in London, England on Sunday, March 16 with kick-off at 9:30 a.m. PT/12:30 p.m. ET. The EFL Cup Final between Liverpool and Newcastle livestreams on the CBS Sports Golazo Network via Paramount+ for subscribers only.

Indeed, Newcastle have suffered defeat in each of their five major domestic cup finals since winning their last trophy back in 1955, while they have also lost each of their last nine games at Wembley, which is the worst run of any team in the stadium's history.
