The remaining clubs from the two divisions of the Bayernliga and the five divisions of the Landesliga Bayern entered the qualifying stage of the competition. Clubs below the Landesliga had to take part in the Kreispokale to qualify. [3] The 2014–15 edition was the last one to feature three qualifying rounds as, from 2015–16 onwards, only two qualifying rounds were held, taking place just before the first round proper. Only the Bayernliga clubs and the best ten clubs from each Landesliga division took part in this. [3] [4] [5]

For the 2015–16 edition this meant, with league membership in the 2014–15 season taken as reference, the two Bavarian 3. Liga clubs, the 12 Regionalliga Bayern clubs that were not reserve sides and four Bayernliga clubs where automatically qualified. Additionally the 24 Kreispokal winners and 22 clubs qualified through the three rounds of qualifying entered the first round of the Bavarian Cup. The 24 Kreispokal winners, after being allocated to their respective region, were permitted to select the team they wished to play against rather than having a club drawn against them. [3] [5]

The winner of the 2015–16 Bavarian Cup was automatically qualified for the first round of the German Cup the following season. The second spot awarded to the Bavarian Football Association for the first round of the German Cup will go to the best-placed non-reserve side in the Regionalliga Bayern. Should the same team win the cup and finished as the best non-reserve side in the Regionalliga or qualify automatically as one of the top four teams in the 3. Liga the second spot would have gone to the losing finalist. Should the losing finalist also have qualified already as one of the top four 3. Liga clubs a decider would be played between the two losing semi finalists. [5]

Because winners Würzburger Kickers qualified to the DFB-Pokal through their third-place finish in the 3. Liga Unterhaching took up their Cup winners spot in the 2016–17 DFB-Pokal while Regionalliga Bayern champions Jahn Regensburg qualified through the league path.
