Bayern through: When is the DFB-Pokal last 16 draw? | OneFootball

The record champion has confidently cleared their cup hurdle – now the focus shifts to the next round. When will FC Bayern find out who they will face in the round of 16?

In Cologne, FC Bayern completed their mandatory task with a 4:1 victory – after an early deficit, a strong response, and goals from Luis Díaz, Harry Kane (2), and Michael Olise. However, the equalizer came from a clear offside position, as video assistance is not used in the cup. Harry Kane particularly showed himself in top form once again and was involved in nearly every dangerous action. For Josip Stanisic, it was also a starting lineup comeback after more than a month off.

The draw for the round of 16 pairings will take place on Sunday, November 2, at the German Football Museum in Dortmund – expected around 5:50 PM during the halftime of the handball international match between Germany and Iceland. The sailor Felix van den Hövel will serve as the draw assistant, and the broadcast will be on ZDF with presenter Lili Engels.

In the draw pot are ten Bundesliga teams and six second division teams: From the Bundesliga, FC Bayern, defending champion VfB Stuttgart, Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, Union Berlin, HSV, Borussia Mönchengladbach, SC Freiburg, and FC St. Pauli are included. From the second division, Hertha BSC, Holstein Kiel, VfL Bochum, 1. FC Magdeburg, 1. FC Kaiserslautern, and SV Darmstadt qualified.

The draw will be conducted – as in the second round – from a single pot. Since no amateur team is represented anymore, there will be no home advantage swaps: The first-drawn team automatically has home advantage.

The round of 16 will be played on December 2 and 3, with kickoff times at 6:00 PM and 8:45 PM. The quarterfinals will follow on February 3/4 and 10/11, the semifinals on April 21/22. The final will take place on May 23 at the Berlin Olympic Stadium.
