The early knockout phase of the 2026-27 DFB-Pokal, with the Round of 16 draw just completed and matches set for early December, keeps implied probabilities tightly clustered as no single side has pulled away in the single-elimination format. Bayern Munich sits atop the consensus after a dominant 6-1 win over Magdeburg and strong Bundesliga form alongside Dortmund, yet faces Hertha BSC while other Bundesliga sides such as Leverkusen, Leipzig, Stuttgart, and Freiburg carry comparable momentum and home advantages in their ties. Lower-league survivors like Kaiserslautern and Dresden add upset potential, and the defending champions' recent consistency has not yet translated into a decisive edge over the remaining field.
This market will resolve according to the club that wins the 2026-27 DFB-Pokal. If at any point it becomes impossible for a listed club to win the 2026-27 DFB-Pokal per the rules of the competition (e.g., they are eliminated), the corresponding market will resolve to "No". If the 2026-27 DFB-Pokal is cancelled, postponed after June 12, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, or there is otherwise no winner declared within that timeframe, this market will resolve to "Other". The primary resolution source will be official information from the Deutscher Fußball-Bund (DFB); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
