On Tuesday night, Cheltenham Town and Grimsby Town return to the tournament following promotion from the National League last term, and both face testing ties.
The Robins were three divisions below Charlton Athletic last term, but now sit just 13 places adrift them in the EFL ladder. They go head-to-head at Whaddon Road in what will be the first ever competitive meeting between the pair, while Grimsby to go Sky Bet Championship outfit Derby County.
Two all-London affairs take place on an action-packed opening night, with Leyton Orient hosting Fulham and Barnet welcoming Millwall to The Hive, while Southend United and Gillingham lock horns just three days after facing off in their Sky Bet League One opener, which the Gills won 3-1.
On Wednesday, Sky Sports' first TV selection sees Sky Bet Championship new boys Aston Villa travel to League Two leaders and 1988 Cup winners Luton Town. The Hatters impressed in the early stages of the competition last year, while Villa were introduced to the rigours of the EFL following a weekend loss at Sheffield Wednesday.
QPR duo Ben Gladwin and Massimo Luongo will come up against their former club Swindon Town in one of three other Wednesday night fixtures, 24 hours before the Sky cameras are out again.
Appointments: The match officials on EFL Cup Round One duty
In the West Country on Thursday, Bristol Rovers take on Cardiff City, and it's a return to the Memorial Stadium for Bluebirds boss Paul Trollope, who had lengthy spells with the Pirates as both a player and a manager.
Rovers are riding the crest of a wave following back-to-back promotions, and the Welshman will need his Championship troops to be at their best if they're to avoid an upset under the lights.
