mode

As usual, the participants played the winner in pure cup mode with home and return matches. If there was a tie after both games, the number of goals scored away decided ( away goal rule ). If their number was the same, a lottery procedure took place for the first time , as a penalty shoot-out was not yet planned. The final was decided in a game on a neutral court. In the event of a tie after extra time, a replay would have been scheduled as no penalty shoot-out was planned for the final either.

Since defending champion Borussia Dortmund was set for the second round, the field of participants had to be reduced by one team to 30 for the first round.
