The Women's League Cup will be renamed the Players Cup and operate in a league system with regionalised matches for the 2026-27 season.
Last November, clubs in the Women's Super League (WSL) and WSL 2 voted in favour of proposals to revamp the competition to help combat scheduling issues and to protect player welfare.
They agreed the new format would exclude sides who have qualified for the Women's Champions League, meaning League Cup holders Chelsea, WSL champions Manchester City and runners-up ***** nal will miss this year's edition.
The remaining 23 teams from the top two divisions have been split into Northern and Southern sections - but will be in one table.
They will compete from September to December on nights when Champions League fixtures are taking place.
