Bayern Munich are the competition&#8217;s record winners and the current holders after lifting the 2025\/26 cup. Here you can find our DFB-Pokal predictions and betting tips for the 2026\/27 season. The first round kicks off in August 2026, then the final is at Berlin\u2019s Olympiastadion in May 2027.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>England has two domestic knockout tournaments, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/fa-cup\/\">FA Cup<\/a> and the Carabao Cup. In contrast, Germany has only one major cup competition, the DFB-Pokal.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The competition is steeped in history, because its first edition took place in 1935. Nurnberg claimed that inaugural title against Schalke 04, in front of 55,000 fans at the Rheinstadion.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nearly a century later, the tournament is still going strong and remains well-regarded among Germany\u2019s elite clubs. Winning it also grants access to the Europa League.<\/p>\n\n\n    <div class=\"sq-toplist\">\n        <div class=\"sq-toplist__items\">\n\t\t\t    <div\n            class=\"sq-toplist__item\"\n            data-entity-id=\"1386612\"\n            data-offer-id=\"1386613\"\n    >\n\t\t            <span class=\"sq-toplist__label\">Squawka recommends <\/span>\n\t\t        <div class=\"sq-toplist__item-container\">\n            <div class=\"sq-toplist__offer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/go\/dabble?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"Dabble\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"10\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"logo\" class=\"sq-toplist__logo\" style=\"background:#7c44fd\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"50\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/05\/13155709\/1381837_1381837_dabble.png\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"Dabble Logo\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/05\/13155709\/1381837_1381837_dabble.png 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/05\/13155709\/1381837_1381837_dabble-40x13.png 40w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"sq-toplist__offer-box\">\n                    <span class=\"sq-toplist__bookmaker\">\n                        <a href=\"\/en\/go\/dabble?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"Dabble\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"10\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"brand_name\">Dabble<\/a>                    <\/span>\n                    <span class=\"sq-toplist__offer-title is-tablet-visible\">\n                        <a href=\"\/en\/go\/dabble?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"Dabble\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"10\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"offer\">BET \u00a310, GET \u00a310 IN FREE BETS<\/a>                    <\/span>\n                <\/div>\n                <span class=\"sq-toplist__offer-title is-mobile-visible\">\n                    <a href=\"\/en\/go\/dabble?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"Dabble\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"10\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"offer\">BET \u00a310, GET \u00a310 IN FREE BETS<\/a>                <\/span>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"sq-toplist__buttons\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/go\/dabble?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"Dabble\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"10\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"cta\" class=\"sq-btn sq-btn--secondary sq-btn--full\">Claim Here<\/a>                <div class=\"sq-rating\">\n                    <span class=\"sq-rating__text\">Our Score<\/span>\n                    <span class=\"sq-rating__value\">10<\/span>\n                <\/div>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/dabble-sign-up-offer\/\" class=\"sq-review-link\">\n                    <span>Read our review<\/span>\n                <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t\t        <ul class=\"sq-toplist__features\">\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">Fantastic Promotions<\/li>\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">Fun Social Media Content<\/li>\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">New Bookmaker<\/li>\n                    <\/ul>\n                <\/div>\n\t\t            <div class=\"sq-toplist__item-tc\"><p>#AD 18+ New customers only.

As always, all 64 clubs enter at that stage, so there are upset opportunities from the very first weekend. The final then takes place at Berlin\u2019s Olympiastadion in May 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-does-squawka-release-its-dfb-pokal-predictions\"><strong>When do Squawka release their DFB-Pokal predictions?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We aim to give our readers plenty of time to check our betting tips for upcoming DFB-Pokal matches. As a result, we look to get these tips live between 24 and 48 hours before kick-off. However, that time frame can fluctuate on occasion due to fixture congestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll find our best tips for the DFB-Pokal on this page during every round. For the biggest matches, we&#8217;ll also have specially-picked match previews. These are written by our Squawka Bet experts, who have extensive knowledge of German football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-betting-markets-are-popular-for-the-dfb-pokal\"><strong>What betting markets are popular for the DFB-Pokal?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The earlier rounds usually match up so-called minnows against Germany\u2019s perennial big boys. As a result, the scope for high-scoring games is more pronounced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Europe\u2019s other major footballing nations tend to introduce their heavyweights in the later phases. For instance, England\u2019s European qualifiers only enter the Carabao Cup at the third round. In contrast, Germany brings everyone in from the start, including Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As such, your best bet is to look for markets built around goals. Think lots of goals, wins to nil and goals in both halves. Bayern, for example, have beaten Viktoria Cologne 5-0, Bremer SV 12-0 and Duren 3-0 in recent Round One ties.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/go\/sky-vegas?q=uk-all-con-fsd-s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"342\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/26150133\/1244001_1244001_sky-vegas-free-spins-offer-1024x342.jpg\" alt=\"Sky Vegas free spins welcome offer banner\" class=\"wp-image-1244004\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/26150133\/1244001_1244001_sky-vegas-free-spins-offer-1024x342.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/26150133\/1244001_1244001_sky-vegas-free-spins-offer-300x100.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/26150133\/1244001_1244001_sky-vegas-free-spins-offer-768x257.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/26150133\/1244001_1244001_sky-vegas-free-spins-offer-110x37.jpg 110w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/26150133\/1244001_1244001_sky-vegas-free-spins-offer-209x70.jpg 209w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/26150133\/1244001_1244001_sky-vegas-free-spins-offer-66x22.jpg 66w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/26150133\/1244001_1244001_sky-vegas-free-spins-offer-80x27.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/26150133\/1244001_1244001_sky-vegas-free-spins-offer-180x60.jpg 180w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/26150133\/1244001_1244001_sky-vegas-free-spins-offer-380x127.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/26150133\/1244001_1244001_sky-vegas-free-spins-offer-1200x401.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/26150133\/1244001_1244001_sky-vegas-free-spins-offer-240x80.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/26150133\/1244001_1244001_sky-vegas-free-spins-offer-1100x368.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/26150133\/1244001_1244001_sky-vegas-free-spins-offer-85x28.jpg 85w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/26150133\/1244001_1244001_sky-vegas-free-spins-offer-60x20.jpg 60w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/26150133\/1244001_1244001_sky-vegas-free-spins-offer-330x110.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/go\/sky-vegas?q=uk-all-con-fsd-s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLAIM HERE<\/a>. 18+ only.

Therefore, there are plenty of opportunities to try your hand at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">football accumulator betting<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With accumulator betting, you grow your odds while staking an interest in a multitude of games, perfect for the DFB-Pokal.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, recent seasons have proven that games can be tough to call. Make sure to keep track of form and follow the research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-over-2-5-goals\"><strong>Over 2.5 goals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High-scoring games are common when the giants of the Cup meet the so-called little teams. That makes this particular betting market a highly attractive one.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned, all the big clubs are in the mix from the off. Therefore, the potential for high-scoring games increases, hence the interest in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/over-2-5-goals-tips-predictions\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">over 2.5 goals scored<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recent seasons have produced a handful of victories by seven goals or more. Similarly, last-16 ties often serve up four goals or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-to-go-through-bets\"><strong>\u2018To go through\u2019 Bets<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re a little nervous about making &#8216;exact&#8217; predictions, this is the market for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, winners might be easy to predict on paper. However, recent seasons have proven that games are won on the pitch. Shock results happen, and bigger teams often take longer than expected to get through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here you\u2019ll simply bet on which team you think will make it through to the next round. There is no pressure on guessing the scorelines or, indeed, the scorers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dfb-pokal-inplay-betting-tips\"><strong>DFB-Pokal Inplay betting tips<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In-play betting has seen a real increase in popularity in recent years. Punters want to get involved with the action more than ever. Many firms now offer cash-out bets and live in-play odds. In the case of the DFB-Pokal, you can even watch live matches with some bookmakers as you place your bets. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/bet365-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bet365<\/a> are particularly on the ball with this feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you think an underdog can eliminate a Bundesliga side, you can back that in seconds on your chosen app. There are plenty of other in-play markets to choose from, too. For example, you can back the next team to score, the next goalscorer, or a goal before a certain minute. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/sky-bet-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sky Bet<\/a> are among the top bookmakers to offer in-play bets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-full-time-results\">Full time results<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Full time result markets can often offer more to a punter than in straight Bundesliga games. When opponents are mismatched, you&#8217;ll commonly find top-flight teams shuffling the pack and deploying weaker XIs. As a result, backing the opposition can carry real value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this bet, you&#8217;re simply backing which team you believe will win the match. It should not be confused with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/correct-score-tips\/\">correct score<\/a> bet. That market involves betting on the exact scoreline at the end of 90 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the more recent giantkillings in the DFB-Pokal include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2023\/24: Saarbrucken 2-1 <strong>Bayern Munich\u00a0<\/strong>(Round Two)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2021\/22: Preussen Munster 2-0 <strong>Wolfsburg<\/strong> (Round One)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2021\/22: Babelsberg 2-2 (5-4p) <strong>Greuther Furth<\/strong> (Round One)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2020\/21: Rot-Weiss Essen 2-1 <strong>Bayer Leverkusen<\/strong> (Round of 16)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2020\/21: Rot-Weiss Essen 1-0 <strong>Arminia Bielefeld<\/strong> (Round One)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2019\/20: Saarbrucken 1-1 (7-6p) <strong>Dusseldorf<\/strong> (Quarter-finals), after beating <strong>Cologne<\/strong> 3-2 in Round Two<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2019\/20: Verl 2-1 <strong>Augsburg<\/strong> (Round One)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2018\/19: Ulm 2-1 <strong>Eintracht Frankfurt<\/strong> (Round One)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>*Bundesliga clubs in <strong>bold<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DFB-Pokal takes place throughout the German football season, starting with Round One in August. The 64-club field includes all 36 teams from the Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga. In addition, the top four finishers in the 3. Liga are drafted in. The remaining 24 places go to representatives of the 21 regional associations (Bavaria, Berlin, Hesse, Saxony, Westphalia, etc). These are typically handed to obscure and often amateur clubs, offering a kaleidoscopic variability of German football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-best-bookmakers-for-dfb-pokal-betting\"><strong>Best bookmakers for DFB-Pokal <\/strong><strong>Betting<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our DFB-Pokal predictions point to another wild and entertaining tournament.
