Swans face Crawley reunion in EFL Cup
- Published
Swansea City will host League Two Crawley Town in the first round of the EFL Cup, with the tie to be played in the week beginning 11 August.
The two clubs have met only once before, when Garry Monk scored a last-minute goal to give the then Premier League Swans a League Cup victory at Crawley in September 2012.
Five months later, Swansea thumped Bradford City at Wembley to win the EFL Cup - the only major trophy in the club's history.
Alan Sheehan's side will hope for another triumph over Crawley in what will be their opening home game of 2025-26, with Swansea heading to Middlesbrough for their first Championship fixture of the new campaign on Saturday, 9 August.
Crawley will play in the fourth tier next season having been relegated from League One in 2024-25.
