2019–20 DFB-Pokal

On 27 March 2020, the German Football Association (DFB) indefinitely postponed the semi-finals of the competition, originally scheduled for 21 and 22 April, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany.{{cite news |url=https://www.dfb.de/news/detail/halbfinale-im-dfb-pokal-wird-verlegt-214416/ |title=Halbfinale im DFB-Pokal wird verlegt |trans-title=DFB-Pokal semi-finals to be postponed |website=DFB.de |publisher=German Football Association |date=27 March 2020 |access-date=27 March 2020 |language=de}} On 24 April, the DFB also indefinitely postponed the final of the competition, originally scheduled for 23 May, with the goal of completing the competition by 30 June 2020.{{cite news |url=https://www.dfb.de/news/detail/praesidium-verlegt-termin-des-pokalendspiels-215092/ |title=Präsidium verlegt Termin des Pokalendspiels |trans-title=Executive Committee postpones date of cup final |website=DFB.de |publisher=German Football Association |date=24 April 2020 |access-date=24 April 2020 |language=de}} On 11 May 2020, the DFB Executive Committee approved a resumption of the competition, subject to political approval, using a hygiene concept similar to that implemented by the DFL in the Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga. The semi-finals took place on 9 and 10 June, while the final took place on 4 July 2020.{{cite news |url=https://www.dfb.de/news/detail/dfb-plan-pokalendspiele-am-4-juli-215461/ |title=DFB-Plan: Pokalendspiele am 4.

The following 64 teams qualified for the competition:

The DFB-Pokal began with a round of 64 teams. The 36 teams of the Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga, along with the top four finishers of the 3. Liga, automatically qualified for the tournament. Of the remaining slots, 21 were given to the cup winners of the regional football associations, the Verbandspokal. The three remaining slots were given to the three regional associations with the most men's teams, which were Bavaria, Lower Saxony and Westphalia. The best-placed amateur team of the Regionalliga Bayern was given the spot for Bavaria. For Lower Saxony, the Lower Saxony Cup was split into two paths: one for 3. Liga and Regionalliga Nord teams, and the other for amateur teams. The winners of each path qualified. For Westphalia, the winner of a play-off between the best-placed team of the Regionalliga West and Oberliga Westfalen also qualified. As every team was entitled to participate in local tournaments which qualified for the association cups, every team could in principle compete in the DFB-Pokal. Reserve teams and combined football sections were not permitted to enter, along with no two teams of the same association or corporation.{{cite web |url=https://www.dfb.de/dfb-pokal/modus/ |title=Modus |trans-title=Mode |website=DFB.de |publisher=German Football Association |date=15 August 2012 |access-date=11 June 2015 |language=de}}

The draws for the different rounds were conducted as follows:

For the first round, the participating teams were split into two pots of 32 teams each. The first pot contained all teams which qualified through their regional cup competitions, the best four teams of the 3. Liga, and the bottom four teams of the 2. Bundesliga. Every team from this pot was drawn to a team from the second pot, which contained all remaining professional teams (all the teams of the Bundesliga and the remaining fourteen 2. Bundesliga teams). The teams from the first pot were set as the home team in the process.

The two-pot scenario was also applied for the second round, with the remaining 3. Liga and/or amateur team(s) in the first pot and the remaining Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga teams in the other pot. Once again, the 3. Liga and/or amateur team(s) served as hosts. This time the pots did not have to be of equal size though, depending on the results of the first round. Theoretically, it was even possible that there could be only one pot, if all of the teams from one of the pots from the first round had beat all the others in the second pot. Once one pot was empty, the remaining pairings were drawn from the other pot, with the first-drawn team for a match serving as hosts.

For the remaining rounds, the draw was conducted from just one pot. Any remaining 3. Liga and/or amateur team(s) were the home team if drawn against a professional team. In every other case, the first-drawn team served as hosts.

Teams met in one game per round. Matches took place for 90 minutes, with two halves of 45 minutes esch. If still tied after regulation, 30 minutes of extra time were played, consisting of two periods of 15 minutesceach. If the score was still level after this, the match was decided by a penalty shoot-out. A coin toss would decide who took the first penalty. The number of substitutes allowed on the bench was increased from seven to nine for the 2019–20 season. Initially, three substitutions were allowed during regulation, with a fourth allowed in extra time.{{cite news |url=https://www.dfb.de/news/detail/dfb-praesidium-beschliesst-vierte-einwechslung-im-pokal-158790/ |title=DFB-Präsidium beschließt vierte Einwechslung im Pokal |trans-title=DFB presidium establishes fourth substitution in the Pokal |website=DFB.de |publisher=German Football Association |date=2 December 2016 |access-date=2 December 2016 |language=de}} From the round of 16 onward, a video assistant referee was appointed for all DFB-Pokal matches. Though technically possible, VAR was not used for home matches of Bundesliga clubs prior to the round of 16 in order to provide a uniform approach to all matches.{{cite news |url=https://www.dfb.de/news/detail/pokal-ab-achtelfinale-mit-video-assistent-205868/ |title=Pokal ab Achtelfinale mit Video-Assistent |trans-title=Pokal from round of 16 with VAR |website=DFB.de |publisher=German Football Association |date=7 August 2019 |access-date=7 August 2019 |language=de}}

For the semi-finals and final, a maximum of five substitutions were allowed. However, each team was only given three opportunities to make substitutions, with a fourth opportunity in extra time, excluding substitutions made at half-time, before the start of extra time and at half-time in extra time.

If a player received five yellow cards in the competition, he was then suspended from the next cup match. Similarly, receiving a second yellow card suspended a player from the next cup match. If a player received a direct red card, they were suspended a minimum of one match, but the German Football Association reserved the right to increase the suspension.

The winners of the DFB-Pokal typically earned automatic qualification for the group stage of next year's edition of the UEFA Europa League. If they had already qualified for the UEFA Champions League through position in the Bundesliga, then the spot would go to the team in sixth place, and the league's second qualifying round spot would go to the team in seventh place. The winners also typically hosted the DFL-Supercup at the start of the next season, facing the champions of the previous year's Bundesliga, unless the same team won the Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal, completing a double. In that case, the runners-up of the Bundesliga took the spot and hosted instead.

The draws were televised on ARD's Sportschau, broadcast on Das Erste.{{cite news |url=https://www.dfb.de/news/detail/auslosungen-des-dfb-pokals-im-neuen-tv-format-167941/ |title=Kehl lost erste Runde in der ARD aus |trans-title=Kehl draws the first round on ARD |website=DFB.de |publisher=German Football Association |date=8 June 2017 |access-date=8 June 2017 |language=de}}
