the premier league teams enter the league cup in the second round.
when do the premier league teams enter the league cup?
second round
the league cup is open to all 92 members of the premier league and english football league and is divided into seven rounds, organised so that 32 teams remain by the third round (with the exception of the 1961–62 competition). since 1996–97, teams involved in european competition during the season have received a bye to the third round; the remaining premier league teams enter at the second round, and the remaining football league teams enter at the first round. if the number of byes causes an odd number of teams to enter a round, another team may be given a bye (usually the highest-placed team of those relegated from the premier league the previous season) or a preliminary round may be played between the two teams promoted from the football conference the previous season (or, if only one team is promoted, that team would play against the lowest-placed team not to be relegated from the football league the previous season); preliminary rounds have only been necessary in the 2002–03 and 2011–12 competitions. up to 1995–96, all teams were involved by the second round, although some received byes to that stage.
