The 2022 DFB-Pokal final was an association football match played between RB Leipzig and SC Freiburg at the Olympiastadion in Berlin on 21 May 2022.

Contents

RB Leipzig won the match 4–2 on penalties, following a 1–1 draw after extra time, for their first DFB-Pokal title. [6] As winners, they hosted the 2022 edition of the DFL-Supercup at the start of the following season, and faced the champion of the 2021–22 edition of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich. As Leipzig already qualified for the 2022–23 edition of the UEFA Champions League through their position in the Bundesliga, the UEFA Europa League group stage spot reserved for the cup winners went to the sixth-placed team, and the league's UEFA Europa Conference League play-off round spot to the seventh-placed team.
