The reigning champions will be in the pot along with the other 15 clubs still in the competition when the draw for the last 16 of the 2021/22 DFB-Pokal takes place on the ARD-Sportschau on Sunday (from 18:30 CET).

In the third-from-last round before the final in Berlin, the amateur clubs (which include 1860 Munich and possibly VfL Osnabrück and Waldhof Mannheim too) will have home advantage. The ties will be played on 18 and 19 January 2022.
