Newcastle vs Liverpool Carabao Cup Final Kickoff Time Confirmed

The kickoff time for the Carabao Cup final between Newcastle United and Liverpool has been set for 4:30 PM on Sunday, March 16. This earlier time was chosen to avoid conflict with a Limp Bizkit concert taking place at Wembley Arena that evening.

There had been speculation about a rare 8 PM kickoff, but organizers opted for the afternoon slot to ensure fans clear the area before the evening show begins. This is the same kickoff time used for last year’s final between Newcastle and Manchester United.

The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK. It will also be available for free on ITV 1 and streaming on ITV X.

Newcastle reached the final by defeating Arsenal, while Liverpool advanced past Tottenham. Eddie Howe’s Newcastle side will hope for a better result than their 2-0 loss to Manchester United in last year’s final.

Some corporate ticket holders have reportedly expressed frustration at receiving fewer tickets compared to the 2023 final. The club has cited having more partners to accommodate this year as the reason for the reductions.

Regardless of ticketing issues, both teams and their supporters are eagerly anticipating the chance to claim the first major trophy of the English football season at Wembley Stadium.
