The 2023–24 Verbandspokal (English: 2023–24 Association Cup) consisted of twenty-one regional cup competitions, the Verbandspokale, the qualifying competition for the 2024–25 DFB-Pokal, the German Cup.[http://www.dfb.de/dfb-pokal/modus/ Modus] {{in lang|de}} DFB website – Mode. Retrieved 9 April 2015
All clubs from the 3. Liga and below could enter the regional Verbandspokale, subject to the rules and regulations of each region. Clubs from the Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga did not enter but were instead directly qualified for the first round of the DFB-Pokal. Reserve teams were not permitted to take part in the DFB-Pokal or the Verbandspokale. The precise rules of each regional Verbandspokal were laid down by the regional football association organising it.[http://www.bfv.de/cms/docs/Spielordnung_ab_17.12.2014.pdf Spielordnung] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150115095750/http://www.bfv.de/cms/docs/Spielordnung_ab_17.12.2014.pdf |date=15 January 2015 }} {{in lang|de}} BFV website: Rules & Regulations.

All twenty-one winners qualified for the first round of the German Cup in the following season. Three additional clubs also qualify for the first round of the German Cup, these being from the three largest state associations, Bavaria, Westphalia and Lower Saxony. The Lower Saxony Cup was split into two paths, one for teams from the 3. Liga and the Regionalliga Nord and one for the teams from lower leagues. The winners of both paths qualified for the DFB-Pokal. In Bavaria the best-placed non-reserve Regionalliga Bayern team qualified for the DFB-Pokal while in Westphalia the spot alternated between the Oberliga Westfalen champion and best-placed Westphalian team from the Regionalliga West. This year, the Oberliga Westfalen champion qualified.{{cite web |url=https://flvw.de/de/oberliga-staffeltag-entscheidungsspiel-um-den-dfb-pokal-platz-wi.htm?pgid=1 |title=Oberliga Staffeltag: Entscheidungsspiel um den DFB-Pokal-Platz wird abgeschafft |website=flvw.de |publisher=Westphalian Football and Athletics Association |date=22 July 2022 |access-date=27 October 2022 |language=de}}
