The 2009–10 DFB-Pokal is the sixty-seventh season of the annual German football cup competition. It commenced on the weekend around 1 August 2009 with the matches of Round 1 and ended on 15 May 2010 with the final which is traditionally held at Olympic Stadium in Berlin.^[1] Since the cup winner, Bayern Munich, also won the German championship and the runner-up, Werder Bremen, qualified for the Champions League, VfB Stuttgart, the 6th-placed team of the championship, qualified for the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League third qualifying round instead.

Participating clubs[link]

The following 64 teams competed in Round 1:

¹ Finalists from the three regions with the most participating teams in their league competitions are also allowed to compete
² Tennis Borussia Berlin qualified as losing finalists from Berlin because winners 1. FC Union Berlin have already qualified via their league place.
³ While Dresden's reserve team won the cup final, rules stipulate the club must send its first team into the competition, unless it had qualified via a league place.
⁴ Germania Dattenfeld was renamed Germania Windeck, effective 1 July 2009.

Draw[link]

The draws for the different rounds are conducted as following^[2]: 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.
