The eagerly awaited draw for the first round of the DFB Cup will take place on Sunday, June 15, 2025. This event starts at 5:15 p.m. and will be broadcast live from the German Football Museum in Dortmund on ZDF. The athlete Owen Ansah takes on the task of drawing the lottery numbers. A total of 64 teams have qualified for the draw, which is divided into two draw pots: the professional pot and the amateur pot.
VfB Stuttgart, who will compete in the first round as defending champions, will be represented in the professional pot. This means that they cannot face any other Bundesliga club. According to suedwest24.de, VfB Stuttgart will not play its first competitive game in the 2025/2026 season until the 26th or August 27, 2025, after the Franz Beckenbauer Cup game against FC Bayern Munich on August 16.

A high stakes in the DFB Cup
The first round of the DFB Cup, which will be played from August 15 to 18, 2025, is considered particularly exciting as amateur clubs compete against professional teams in this phase. As already mentioned, VfB Stuttgart will enter the tournament a little later, which is related to their planned participation in the Franz Beckenbauer Cup. Last season, VfB Stuttgart secured the DFB Cup title by beating Arminia Bielefeld 4-2 in the final, something that is firmly etched in the memories of many fans.
The draw for the first round is therefore an important step in the planning of the new season. After the draw, the matches will be announced and the anticipation for the games will continue to grow. The teams are ready to determine the DFB Cup winners for the 2025/2026 season and everyone is excited to see what surprises the tournament has in store.
