The 2020–21 EFL Trophy, known as the Checkatrade Trophy for sponsorship reasons, was the 38th 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 also including 16 Premier League and Championship "B teams" with Category One status.

Participating clubs[]

  • Forty-eight clubs from League One and League Two.
  • Sixteen invited Category One Academy teams.
  • Expelled clubs will be automatically eliminated from the tournament.
  • Category One teams Relegated to League One will miss out on having academies participating in the following tournament.

Five Premier League clubs with Category One academies did not participate: Burnley and Crystal Palace, both in their first full season of Category One status, and Everton, Sheffield United and Tottenham Hotspur, who both played in the previous year's competition but declined to participate in this one. As a result, the academy of Championship-side Norwich City was invited instead.
