The League1 Cup is a tournament that features all L1O clubs from each of the three divisions, like England’s FA Cup. The knock-out competition runs concurrently with the regular season, with cup games usually taking place mid-week. This is the first year the Rovers have participated in the League1 Cup following the competition's hiatus from 2019 to 2023.
