FC Bayern is eagerly awaiting its first DFB Cup opponent in 2025!

What an exciting day for FC Bayern Munich! On June 15, 2025, the German record champions are looking forward to the draw for their next opponent in the DFB Cup. The club has struggled with mixed success in this competition in recent years. The last time they won the title was in 2019/20 – against Bayer Leverkusen with a 4-2 win. Since then, things haven't quite gone according to plan, as in three of the last five seasons they lost in the second main round, once they were eliminated in the quarter-finals and once in the round of 16. Most recently they were beaten 0-1 by Bayer Leverkusen in the round of 16 of the last cup season, which made the disappointment even worse.

The draw, which will be broadcast live on ZDF today at 5:15 p.m., promises exciting encounters. Owen Ansah will draw the lots while participants in the competition will come from different leagues. All first and second division teams, the first four clubs from the 3rd division and the state cup winners take part in the draw. FC Bayern will play away against a lower-class opponent, which provides additional thrills.

In addition, the draw for the round of 16 will take place in the coming days. FC Bayern will face defending champions Bayer Leverkusen, which makes things all the more interesting. In the first round, Bayern want to show that they are ready to take back the title. DFB sports director Rudi Völler will lead the draw, supported by cult fan André Schnura as “raffle ticket”. So it remains to be seen who will be FC Bayern's opponents on June 15th and which teams will make it to the round of 16.

There is great anticipation and FC Bayern supporters are hoping for a successful season that starts on a positive note in the DFB Cup. It looks like FC Bayern are facing an exciting challenge in the first main round. Ready to take the next step and refresh the memories of the last title, they are optimistic about the future.
