2021-22 Premier League Cup

The 2021-22 Premier League Cup is the eighth campaign of the knockout cup competition launched by the Premier League following the launch of EPPP. Everton are the defending champions after the tournament was cancelled in 2019-20 and spent 2020-21 on hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
If more than 32 clubs enter, then a pre-qualifying knockout stage will be held to determine who joins the the main competition, which begins with a group stage of eight groups of four clubs. Teams face each other twice in the group stage, home and away, with the top two from each group advancing to the knockout round. All knockout games will be one-legged ties.
