The 1962–63 Football League Cup was the third season of the Football League Cup, a knockout competition for England's top 92 football clubs; only 80 of them took part.[a] The competition began on 3 September 1962, and ended with the two-legged final on 23 and 27 May 1963.
The tournament was won by Birmingham City, who beat near-neighbours Aston Villa 3–1 on aggregate. Birmingham won the first leg 3–1 at their home ground St Andrew's, thanks to goals from Jimmy Bloomfield and Ken Leek (2), with Bobby Thomson scoring Villa's goal. The second leg at Villa Park ended in a 0–0 draw and Birmingham won 3–1 on aggregate..
Match dates and results were initially drawn from Soccerbase,[1] and they were later checked against Rothmans Football Yearbook 1970–71.[2]
Of the 80 teams, 48 received a bye to the second round and the other 32 played in the first round; these were the teams ranked 61st to 91st in the 1961–62 Football League, plus Oxford United, who had entered the Football League as replacements for Accrington Stanley. Semi-finals and final were played over two legs.
