Extra-time will no longer be played in the Carabao Cup from next season, with matches level at 90 minutes going straight to a penalty shootout.
The EFL, who organise the League Cup, have also announced the penalty shootout format would revert to the traditional alternating kicks, rather than the ABBA format which was trialled in 2017-18.
VAR will also be used in all League Cup fixtures played at Premier League stadiums next term, the EFL said.
