    EFL Trophy News

    Latest news and updates on the EFL Trophy (Papa Johns Trophy), an English football knockout competition involving 48 EFL sides and 16 academy teams.

    The EFL Trophy was established in 1984 and is an annual English football knockout competition open to all clubs in levels three and four of the English football pyramid (EFL League One and EFL League Two), with the addition of 16 under-21 teams from Premier League and EFL Championship clubs since the 2016–17 season. It is the third most prestigious knockout competition in English football after the FA Cup and the EFL Cup.

    The current champions are Peterborough, who beat Wycombe Wanderers 2-1 in the 2024 final at Wembley Stadium. The most successful club is Bristol City, who have lifted the trophy three times, in 1986, 2003 and 2015.

    The current competition begins with 16 regional groups, each containing four teams and divided between northern and southern sections depending on the clubs' geographic locations. The top two from each group qualify for the knockout stages before the two winners meet in late March or early April in the final at Wembley Stadium.
