The 2020/21 season opens with the first round of the DFB Pokal. A week before the start of the Bundesliga season, it’s David against Goliath again. SPOX gives you all the information about transmission on TV and live stream.
The reigning cup winner is also the record winner of this competition. After a three-month Corona break, FC Bayern Munich prevailed 4-2 against Bayer Leverkusen in the Berlin final in front of empty spectators and celebrated the 20th cup victory in the club’s history.
DFB Pokal, 1st round: When do the games take place?
Due to the corona pandemic, the first round of the DFB Cup this season will not start in August, but only in September. Otherwise everything stays as usual. That means: The games will take place one week before the start of the Bundesliga and will be played from Friday to Monday.
The two Bundesliga clubs Mainz 05 and Hertha BSC will give the starting shot on Friday, before Borussia Dortmund will round off the first round on Monday evening.
The game of FC Bayern is an exception. Since the Munich team was still successful in the Champions League final tournament in Lisbon in August, the meeting of the record winner was postponed one month to October 15. The 2nd round will be held on December 22nd and 23rd.
