2021-22 Under-17 Premier League Cup

The 2021-22 Under-17 Premier League Cup is the second campaign of the domestic youth team cup competition, having replaced both Under-18 and Under-16 versions for the 2020-21 season before remaining in its own guise thereafter. It pits Category 1 teams and some from Category 2 against each other in an initial three-game group stage. Groups are regionalised and clubs play each other once, either home or away, with the winners of the seven groups plus the best runner-up advancing to the quarter-finals. The knockout rounds will be one-off matches.

Brighton & Hove Albion are the defending cup holders.

Teams

All 28 Category 1 Under-18 teams apart from Crystal Palace feature in this year's competition, with Charlton Athletic representing Category 2:

Arsenal, Aston Villa, Birmingham City, Blackburn Rovers, Brighton & Hove Albion, Charlton Athletic, Chelsea, Derby County, Everton, Fulham, Leicester City, Manchester City, Manchester United, Middlesbrough, Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest, Norwich City, Reading, Southampton, Stoke City, Sunderland, Tottenham, West Brom, West Ham, Wolves
