The match featured 1. FC Kaiserslautern, a 2. Bundesliga side, and Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen. Leverkusen won the match 1–0 for their second DFB-Pokal title.[5][6]

With the win, Leverkusen completed their first domestic double, and therefore faced Bundesliga runners-up VfB Stuttgart in the 2024 DFL-Supercup.[7]

Furthermore, since Leverkusen already qualified for the Champions League through the Bundesliga, the seventh-placed team in the Bundesliga, TSG Hoffenheim, earned qualification for the group stage of the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League, and the play-off round spot of the 2024–25 UEFA Conference League went to the team in eighth, 1. FC Heidenheim.[8]

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.[9]
