Who Sheffield Wednesday could face in Carabao Cup second round - full draw details

The 2026/2027 season started with some Carabao Cup action at the weekend

Sheffield Wednesday are waiting to find out who they will face in the Carabao Cup second round.

A second-half winner from substitute Jamal Lowe earned The Owls a 1-0 victory against Championship side Bolton Wanderers at Hillsborough on Saturday in the first round. The result banked the club £5,000 in prize money, with £7,000 up for grabs in the next round.

They will find out their next opponents in the competition on Monday evening during the build-up to Plymouth Argyle v Exeter City on Sky Sports Football. It will be hosted by former Wednesday midfielder David Prutton at approximately 7.20pm, alongside pundits Jobi McAnuff and Jamie Mackie.

Eleven Premier League clubs, who are not involved in European competitions, enter at the second round stage, meaning top-fight opposition could be waiting for Wednesday. The cup is regionalised into northern and southern sections until round three. Second round ties will be played in the week commencing Monday, August 24.
