Bayern München, Hertha BSC, Darmstadt 98, Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund, FC Augsburg, Werder Bremen, Borussia Mönchengladbach and VfB Stuttgart are representing the Bundesliga. The second-tier sides left in the Cup are 1. FC Nürnberg, 1860 München, VfL Bochum, 1. FC Heidenheim and Eintracht Braunschweig. Erzgebirge Aue (third division) and SpVgg Unterhaching (Regionalliga) complete the line-up.

Erzgebirge Aue and SpVgg Unterhaching are the only remaining amateur sides in the competition. If they are drawn out to face each other, the side taken out first will play at home. If either of them are drawn out second against any other side, the tie will take place in their stadium.
