Watch Tottenham vs Doncaster on TV: Live stream and kick-off details for EFL Cup clash

Tottenham Hotspur are set to host Doncaster Rovers as they begin their EFL Cup campaign. Spurs bypassed the first two rounds of the competition due to their participation in European football this season.

Thomas Frank's Lilywhites have had a promising start to the 2025/26 season, securing four victories, one draw and suffering only one defeat across all competitions so far. The League Cup presents an excellent opportunity for them to add to their trophy collection after ending a 17-year silverware drought last season, with their Danish manager still on the hunt for his first career trophy. Spurs last weekend pulled off a thrilling comeback from two goals down to secure a dramatic 2-2 Premier League draw at Brighton. As four-time winners of the competition, they will undoubtedly be favourites to beat Doncaster.

Their League One opponents are currently level on points with Barnsley and Huddersfield Town in the playoff spots, having won five and lost three already this campaign. Grant McCann's side have already beaten Middlesbrough and Accrington Stanley in their first two EFL Cup fixtures.

Now, we bring you all the details you need to tune into the upcoming EFL Cup third round clash this week.
