The match at the BayArena will be the final competitive match of 2020. The DFB will shortly announce whether the match against Eintracht Frankfurt will be played on Tuesday 22 December or on Wednesday 23 December. At the moment it is unclear whether or not fans will be allowed to attend the tie.

Andreas Thom (2) and Ulf Kirsten scored for Bayer 04. Kirsten struck again in the final as Bayer 04 lifted the DFB Cup for the first time with a 1-0 victory against Hertha Berlin Reserves.
