The East of Scotland League Cup is contested by all member clubs of the East of Scotland League.
This year’s competition is reverting to having a group stage initially, a format which was ditched for the incomplete 2019-20 edition. This decision is likely to have been motivated by the large number of clubs close to completing their league fixtures with several weeks of the season to spare.
Bo’ness United are the last club to win this competition, in season 2018-19 and have since been promoted to the Lowland League.
