List of EFL Trophy finals

The EFL Trophy is a knockout cup competition in English football organised by and named after the English Football League. The competition was first played in 1983–84 as the Associate Members' Cup. It is currently open to the 48 members of League One and League Two with 16 category one academy teams from clubs in the Premier League and Championship being invited. In 1984 the final was due to be played at the then Wembley Stadium, but owing to damage caused to the pitch during the Horse of the Year Show, it was moved to Boothferry Park. The first final to be played at Wembley Stadium was in 1985. From 2001 to 2007 while Wembley was rebuilt, it was played at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. In 2008 the finals returned to the new Wembley.
