# 2013–14 DFB-Pokal

## Schedule

The rounds of the 2013–14 competition are scheduled as follows:
| Round | Matches |
| First round | 2–5 August 2013 |
| Second round | 24–25 September 2013 |
| Round of 16 | 3–4 December 2013 |
| Quarter-finals | 11–12 February 2014 |
| Semi-finals | 15–16 April 2014 |
| Final | 17 May 2014 at Olympiastadion, Berlin |

## Draw

The draws for the different rounds are conducted as following: 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. As it is as yet unclear whether MSV Duisburg will retain their license for 2. Bundesliga or not, there will be two hybrid lots bearing the teams of Duisburg and Erzgebirge Aue. Following the final decision that led to Duisburg losing their license, Duisburg was treated as an amateur side.
