Probably something to do with the line up of the division not being known yet.

Yes, but the date the fixtures are released is usually known well before the end of the season.

The OP is asking 'on what date will the fixtures be released', not 'why don't we know the fixture list yet'

Cant be done until we know what teams are going to be in the PL - The play offs are not even finished yet

Probably because the PL, FA and EFL all need to sort out dates the League Cup and FA Cup will be played on - which will then determine how many rounds of midweek PL games there will need to be and when they are best fitted in after consulting with clubs in PL and FA on closeness or otherwise to international breaks

Apart from that nothing much to sort out ...

I’d scrap the League Cup next year. Serves no purpose.

EFL could be fun, if Wigan appeal, and then Sheffield Wednesday and Derby lose their cases and have points deducted and appeal. The appeal process could go on beyond the start of the season.

League Cup will I suspect stay - if nothing other than to help EFL clubs in League One and League Two stay in business

Someone on Twitter tried to work out the available dates. Assume early Carabao overlaps with CL.



Going to need that bigger squad.

But the question is when will they be out, not why haven’t they been done already.

Wish they'd bin off the Carabao (City) Cup. Totally not needed this year considering the nailed on fixture congestion.

The League Cup is run by the EFL. Nothing to do with the PL. So this is unlikely to happen.

Football proven is safe and been a success and Covid numbers going down and this is way in the future.

A League Cup competition has been scrapped in a lot of European countries. Most recently France which just saw its last final between PSG and Lyon. France, Belgium, Spain and Germany all had league cup competitions and no longer do. Italy have never had one. It is the UK and Portugal in terms of "larger footballing nations" that are left.

I would argue that we are in desperate need of reform for our "Carabao" Cup competition to gain a popularity once again. Mainly, I'd say the top 6 can't qualify. It would open up the calendar for the European teams and give a great opportunity for someone outside of Manchester to win it.
