Sunday's Wembley final with a good season for the assistance of the Cup Cábao.
The figure of more than 1.7 million gamblers throughout the competition was the highest since its change in format in 2001-02 and increased 20 percent in last season.
The fact that the clash between Newcastle and Liverpool was free for the first time in more than a decade, also left EFL officials who expected an impulse in the audience figures.
The game, which the Magpies won 2-1 to finish their 70-year wait for a national trophy, was transmitted for free on ITV.
In an electric atmosphere at the National Stadium, Eddie Howe's team won a deserved victory after Dan Burn and Alexander Isak's goals.
Howe praised her squad after the game, saying: 'Everyone has had different trips to get to this point, but we have joined as a squad.

However, the head of the Reds, Arne Slot, refused to focus on the negatives and, on the other hand, pointed out the advantage of 12 points of his team at the top of the Premier League.
Slot said: 'He took us seven months to lose twice in a row and happened against two teams: one fighting for the places of the Champions League and the other is the PSG.
'At this time, the PSG is probably the best team in Europe, but I want to clarify, the week began very well by beating Southampton, so the leadership is 12 points.
'You know if you go further in tournaments that the opposition becomes stronger. And even Liverpool can lose games.
'They have spent 70 years since they won a trophy, but that is for fans. Players are 15 years old to play football and want to win every trophy for which they play, and that is what we want.
'They obtained some extra energy with the objective, which probably deserved, so I don't think there is more hunger for them. The game was as they wanted it.
