DFB Cup 2008–09

The DFB Cup 2008-09 is the 56th edition of the annual nationwide cup competition. It started on August 7, 2008 with the first match of the First Round between 5th division side SV Niederauerbach and 1. FC Köln and will end on May 30, 2009.

Due to a decision made in 2006, reserve teams from professional clubs are not allowed to compete any more.

Participating clubs

There will be 64 teams competing in the first round:

"(Teams in bold are still active in the competition)"
1 Finalists from the three regions with the most participating teams in their league competitions are also allowed to compete
2 ASV Bergedorf 85 qualified as regional cup finalists because winners FC St. Pauli Reserves are not allowed to compete.
3 The football sections of Lüneburger SK and Lüneburger SV have merged to create FC Hansa Lüneburg for the 2008-09 season. 4 SV Niederauerbach qualified as regional cup finalists because winners 1. FC Kaiserslautern Reserves are not allowed to compete.

Draw

For the first round, the participating teams are split into two pots. The first pot contains all teams which have qualified through their regional cup competitions, the teams which were promoted from the Regionalligen and the bottom four teams of the Second Bundesliga. Every team from this pot will be drawn to a team from the second pot, which contains all remaining professional teams. The teams from the first pot will be set as the home team in the process.

The two-pot scenario will also be applied for the second round, with the remaining amateur teams in the first pot and the remaining professional teams in the other pot. Once one pot is empty, the remaining pairings will be drawn from the other pot with the first-drawn team for a match serving as hosts. For the remaining rounds, the draw will be conducted from just one pot. Any remaining amateur team will be the home team if drawn against a professional team. In every other case, the first-drawn team will serve as hosts.
