## Route to the final

The DFB-Pokal began with 64 teams in a single-elimination knockout cup competition. There were a total of six rounds leading up to the final. In the first two rounds, Bundesliga teams participating in European competitions were given a bye. Teams were drawn against each other, and the winner after 90 minutes would advance. If still tied, 30 minutes of extra time was played. If the score was still level, a penalty shoot-out was used to determine the winner.
