The 2012–13 DFB-Pokal was the 70th season of the annual German football cup competition. It began on 17 August 2012 with the first of six rounds and ended on 1 June 2013 with the final at the Olympiastadion in Berlin. The defending champions were Borussia Dortmund, but they were beaten by Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals. Bayern Munich went on to win the competition, defeating VfB Stuttgart 3–2 in the final. As runners-up, VfB Stuttgart have qualified for the third qualifying round of the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League, since Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga and will be competing in the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League.

all clubs		 2011–12 3. Liga
best four teams		 Winners of 21 regional cup competitions1

1 The three regions with the most participating teams in their league competitions (Bavaria, Lower Saxony, Westphalia) are allowed to enter two teams for the competition.
2 Dynamo Dresden were originally banned from the competition as the consequence of incidents involving their supporters during and after their second-round match of the 2011–12 competition. This verdict was later changed to a home match behind closed doors, an away match without allowing entrance to the Dresden fans, and a fine of €100,000.[1]
3 Bavarian Cup runners-up SC Eltersdorf had to compete in a play-off against Wacker Burghausen, the winners of the match between the losing semi-finalists, for the second Bavarian spot; this play-off was won by Wacker Burghausen.[2]
4 Since 1. FC Heidenheim 1846 will enter the competition via their league placement, runners-up SG Sonnenhof Großaspach will inherit the spot reserved for the cup winners.

Schedule

The rounds of the 2012–13 competition are scheduled as follows:[3]

  • First round: 17–20 August 2012
  • Second round: 30–31 October 2012
  • Round of 16: 18–19 December 2012

Draw

The draws for the different rounds are conducted as following:[4] For the first round, the participating teams will be split into two pots. The first pot contains all teams which have qualified through their regional cup competitions, the best four teams of the 3rd Liga 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 3rd Liga/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 3rd Liga/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.
