When is the second round draw?
The draw for the second round will take place on Wednesday (August 10), live on Sky Sports, following the end of the televised game between Sheffield Wednesday and Sunderland, which kicks off at 7.45pm.
It will be hosted by Sky's new Carabao Cup presenter Mark Chapman, with former Crystal Palace and Birmingham City striker Clinton Morrison and Sunderland hero Michael Gray selecting the ties.
The 13 Premier League clubs not involved in European competitions will enter at this stage, alongside Burnley and Watford from the Championship.
The draw remains regionalised at this point, so will again be split into southern and northern sections.
Second round ties are due to be played during the week beginning August 22.
