The amount of prize money Liverpool will earn for their participation in the Carabao Cup has been revealed ahead of the final at Wembley on 16 March.

The Reds journey began with a commanding 5-1 victory over West Ham in the third round, followed by a hard-fought 3-2 away win against Brighton in the fourth round.



The Reds then overcame Southampton 2-1 in the quarterfinals before the Tottenham win.

Newcastle United, under Eddie Howe’s guidance, reached the final after a convincing 4-0 aggregate win over Arsenal in the semi-finals.

Their other opponents in the run-in included a 1-0 win over Wimbledon in the third round, followed by an impressive 2-0 victory against Chelsea in the fourth, and then dispatching Brentford 3-1 in the quarterfinals

The Magpies are seeking their first major trophy in 70 years with the squad having the experience of the 2022/23 Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester United to call on.

Ahead of the final date, Liverpool have announced a fan screening event at the M&S Foodbank Arena.

How much prize money Liverpool could earn from the Carabao Cup this season

While the Carabao Cup is a nice trophy to win, its financial rewards remain modest relative to other competitions.

Liverpool have already secured £62,000 ($78,600) in prize money from their run so far:

Quarterfinal victory: £25,000 ($31,700)
Semifinal win: £25,000 ($31,700)5
Final qualification: £50,000 ($63,500)

A victory at Wembley would add £100,000 ($127,000) to their coffers, while defeat would halve that amount.

Top clubs often field rotated squads in early rounds, using the tournament to blood youngsters—a strategy Klopp perfected during his tenure.

More consequential than prize money is the Europa Conference League berth awarded to the winners.

However, Liverpool’s strong league position likely renders this moot, as a top-four finish would secure Champions League football instead.

Newcastle, meanwhile, may have extra motivation knowing a spot in Europe is guaranteed by winning

For Liverpool, the intangible rewards matter most?

Another trophy would solidify Slot’s authority during a period of transition and maintain the club’s dominance in domestic cups – with Liverpool holding the record with 10 triumphs in the competition.
