In June 2017, the English Football League announced that the draw for the first round of the competition would be held in Bangkok, Thailand, as a result of their new sponsorship deal with Thai company Carabao. There were plans for the 2017–18 EFL Cup to trial video assistant referees during matches in their first use in England. However the plans were scrapped due to a delay and would instead be trialled in the 2017–18 FA Cup from the third round instead.{{cite web |first=Martyn |last=Ziegler |title=Video referee trials in England shelved until 2018 |url=https://www.thetimes.com/article/video-referee-trials-in-england-shelved-until-2018-5l57jkzx8 |work=The Times |date=7 June 2017 |access-date=12 June 2017 }}{{Subscription required|date=June 2017}}

A total of four clubs played in the semi-finals, all winners of the quarter-finals. There was no seeding in this round and the draw was held on 20 December at Ashton Gate immediately after Bristol City knocked out defending champions Manchester United in the 5th round.{{cite web|url=https://www.efl.com/news/2017/december/semi-final-draw-information/ |title=Semi-Final: Draw information|date=19 December 2017|work=EFL|access-date=19 December 2017}}

The semi-finals were played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scored the most goals on aggregate over the two legs advanced to the final. If the aggregate score was level after 90 minutes in the second leg of a semi-final two 15-minute periods of extra time were played each way. If the aggregate score in a semi-final was still level at the end of extra time the tie was decided by the away goals rule, i.e. the team that scored most goals away from home over the two legs advanced. If a semi-final tie was still level, the result was determined by a penalty shoot-out.

The lowest ranked side to reach this stage of the competition was Championship club Bristol City.

{{main article|2018 EFL Cup Final}}

The final was played on 25 February 2018 at Wembley Stadium.

{{:2018 EFL Cup Final}}

There were a number of errors in the draw for the first round. Many fans experienced problems with the sound on the live stream from Thailand, and had to rely on the graphics. However, these contained a number of errors: Charlton Athletic were shown to be drawn in two ties, while a number of other teams including AFC Wimbledon, Brentford, Swindon Town, Norwich City, Forest Green Rovers, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Yeovil Town were all shown to have been given wrong draws. The English Football League later issued a statement apologising for the errors that had been made and stating that the draw had not been compromised with all clubs receiving confirmation of their ties.{{cite web|url=https://www.efl.com/news/2017/june/live-carabao-cup-round-one-draw/|title=Carabao Cup: Round One draw confirmed|website=efl.com|publisher=The Football League|date=16 June 2017|access-date=17 June 2017}}

Confusion also arose over the televised portion of the second round draw, in which four second round matches were announced with the incorrect location.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40895331|title=EFL Cup second round draw: Southampton to host Wolves|publisher=BBC Sport|date=10 August 2017|access-date=11 August 2017}} The cup attracted even further criticism for its draws when it was announced that the third round draw would take place in Beijing at 11:15 China Standard Time (04:15 British Summer Time).{{cite web|url=http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11938/10999271/efl-defends-decision-to-stage-carabao-cup-draw-at-4-15am-bst|title=EFL defends decision to stage Carabao Cup draw at 4.15am BST}}

Further errors continued for the draw of the fifth round. This was due to technical problems at Twitter, which led to the draw being delayed for over an hour.{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/oct/26/carabao-cup-draw-farce-efl-demands-explanation-twitter |title=EFL requests 'full explanation' from Twitter over Carabao Cup draw farce|date=26 October 2017|work=Guardian|access-date=27 October 2017}} The draw finally appeared in a pre-recorded video almost two hours late.
