1965–66 Football League Cup

The 1966–67 Football League Cup was the seventh season of the Football League Cup, a knockout competition for England's top 92 football clubs. The competition started on 23 August 1966 and ended with the final on 4 March 1967. This was the first season during which Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Wolverhampton participated in the League Cup.

The final was contested by Third Division side Queens Park Rangers and First Division side West Bromwich Albion at Wembley Stadium in London. Clive Clark scored twice in the first half to give West Bromwich Albion a 2–0 half-time lead. However, second half goals from Queens Park Rangers's Roger Morgan, Rodney Marsh and Mark Lazarus turned the game around. Queens Park Rangers, who also won the Third Division championship this season, eventually won the match 3–2 to claim the trophy.

Match dates and results were initially drawn from Soccerbase, and they were later checked against Rothmans Football Yearbook 1970–71.
