The DFB-Pokal 2008–09 is the sixty-sixth season of the annual nationwide cup competition. It started with the first match of the First Round between fifth division side SV Niederauerbach and 1. FC Köln on 7 August 2008, and ended with Werder Bremen defeating Bayer Leverkusen in the final at Olympic Stadium, Berlin on 30 May 2009. The winners of DFB Cup 2008–09 would qualify to the fourth qualifying round of 2009–10 UEFA Europa League.
Due to a decision made in 2006,[1] reserve teams from professional clubs are no longer allowed to compete.
Participating clubs
The following 64 teams competed in Round 1:
1 Finalists from the three regions with the most participating teams in their league competitions were also allowed to compete.
2 ASV Bergedorf 85 qualified as regional cup finalists because winners FC St. Pauli Reserves were not allowed to compete.
3 The football sections of Lüneburger SK, winner of the regional cup competition, and Lüneburger SV merged to create FC Hansa Lüneburg for the 2008–09 season.
4 SV Niederauerbach qualified as regional cup finalists because winners 1. FC Kaiserslautern Reserves were not allowed to compete.
Draw
The draws for the different rounds were conducted as following:[2] For the first round, the participating teams were split into two pots. The first pot contained all teams which have qualified through their regional cup competitions, the teams which were promoted from the Regionalligen and the bottom four teams of the Second Bundesliga. Every team from this pot was drawn to a team from the second pot, which contained all remaining professional teams. The teams from the first pot were set as the home team in the process.
The two-pot scenario was also applied for the second round, with the remaining amateur teams in the first pot and the remaining professional teams in the other pot. Once one pot was empty, the remaining pairings were drawn from the other pot with the first-drawn team for a match serving as hosts. For the remaining rounds, the draw was conducted from just one pot. Any remaining amateur team were assigned as the home team if drawn against a professional team. In every other case, the first-drawn team served as hosts.

The draw for the first round was held on 6 July 2008.[3] Matches were played between 7 and 10 August 2008.[3]
