Virgin Media offers numerous packages that contain Sky Sports channels, including the Bigger Bundle, Ultimate Volt Bundle and Biggest TV Bundle. These bundles also enable you to watch EFL Cup matches via fibre broadband streams.

Can You Watch the Carabao Cup Using a VPN?

Broadcasters in Europe, Asia, Oceania and the Americas have access to a varying number of EFL Cup games per season. You can use a VPN to watch the Carabao Cup, but we strongly recommend researching the realm of VPNs before diving in.
