The 2016–17 EFL Trophy, known as the Checkatrade Trophy for sponsorship reasons, was the 33rd season in the history of the competition, a knock-out tournament for English football clubs in League One and League Two of the English football system and, for the first time, 16 Premier League "B Teams" with Category One status as part of a trial.
In all, 64 clubs will enter the competition. Barnsley are the reigning champions but are unable to defend their title following promotion to the Championship.
Change in format[]
On 9 June 2016, also the first day of UEFA Euro 2016, the newly branded EFL announced that the 2016–17 competition will include sixteen 'category 1 Premier League academy sides'. The first round will now consist of sixteen regional groups of four teams, with the top two from each group progressing to the knock-out round. Some of the Premier League clubs invited to participate declined the offer, and their places were filled by Academy sides from several Championship clubs.
The reception to the trial by League One and Two fans was largely negative,
Participating clubs[]
- Forty-eight clubs from League One and League Two
- Sixteen invited Category One Academy teams.
- Notes
Arsenal , Liverpool , Manchester United , Manchester City , Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur declined to participate.
Eligibility criteria for players[]
- For EFL clubs; a minimum of 5 'First Team' players in the starting 11 as defined under the competition’s existing rules.
- For invited clubs – 6 of the starting 11 to be U21 (as at 30 June 2016).
