How to watch Arsenal vs Manchester City in the USA: Live Stream and TV for 2025/2026 Carabao Cup

Manchester City lifted the first major silverware of the 2025-26 English season, overwhelming Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final and handing Pep Guardiola the 40th trophy of his managerial career. The comprehensive victory, sealed by a Nico O’Reilly brace, moves Guardiola into sole possession of second place on soccer’s all-time list of most-decorated head coaches.

City entered the match at Wembley desperate to rescue a campaign that had stalled in Europe, while Arsenal arrived brimming with confidence after topping the Premier League table and securing a Champions League quarter-final berth. Yet the anticipated shoot-out never materialised: City smothered Arsenal’s attack from the opening whistle, turning the contest into a one-sided affair.

The win is Guardiola’s first piece of silverware this term and could herald a wider rule change; the Catalan indicated post-match that he intends to petition the authorities for an adjustment to competition regulations. Arsenal, meanwhile, must regroup quickly as they chase a league crown and continental progress.

For viewers in the United States, the final was streamed live and televised through partner broadcasters of World Soccer Talk, with coverage details mirrored on Futbol Sites, both Better Collective properties. While the 2026 decider is now in the books, American audiences can expect the same broadcast access when the competition returns next autumn.
