The 2021 DFB-Pokal Final decided the winner of the 2020–21 DFB-Pokal, the 78th season of the annual German football cup competition. The match was played on Thursday, 13 May 2021 (on the Feast of the Ascension, a German public holiday) at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.[3][4] The match was originally scheduled for Saturday, 22 May 2021,[5] but was moved to an earlier date prior to the completion of the league season in Germany. This was due to fixture density caused by the late start of the season, originating from the postponement of the end of the previous season as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As with other competitions, the match will be played behind closed doors without any spectators.[2]

The match featured RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund. Dortmund won the final 4–1 for their fifth DFB-Pokal title.

Due to the scheduling change, the match was the first DFB-Pokal final since 2008 to be played prior to the end of the league season, and the first final since 1985 to not be played on a Saturday. It was also the first final since 1984 to be played on a Thursday (as well as not on a weekend).[3]

As winners, Borussia Dortmund will feature in the 2021 edition of the DFL-Supercup at the start of the following season, and will face the champion of the 2020–21 edition of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich. The winner of the DFB-Pokal also earns automatic qualification for the group stage of the 2020–21 edition of the UEFA Europa League. However, as Dortmund already qualified for the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League group stage through their position in the Bundesliga, the spot will go to the team in sixth, and the league's UEFA Europa Conference League play-off round spot will go to the team in seventh.[6]

Background

Route to the final

The DFB-Pokal began with 64 teams in a single-elimination knockout cup competition. There were a total of five rounds leading up to the final. Teams were drawn against each other, and the winner after 90 minutes would advance. If still tied, 30 minutes of extra time was played. If the score was still level, a penalty shoot-out was used to determine the winner.[7]
