Bavarian Cup: TSV 1860 Munich meets SC Reichmannsdorf!
The draw for the first round of the Bavarian Cup for the 2025/26 season took place on July 11, 2025. A total of 64 teams from the district class to the 3rd league are taking part. This is of course a reason to be happy for football fans in Bavaria, because the Bavarian Football Association (BFV) has two starting places for the DFB Cup up for grabs - one of them in the league, the other in the state cup, as diefalsche9.de reports.
There are also four third division clubs among the participating clubs: TSV 1860 Munich, FC Ingolstadt, Jahn Regensburg, which was relegated from the 2nd Bundesliga, and 1. FC Schweinfurt, which is considered a promoted team. Defending champions in the Bavarian Cup are FV Illertissen, who prevailed in the final against SpVgg Unterhaching.
The draw and exciting encounters
A special format this year is the “wishless principle”, which allows the 22 district cup winners to choose their preferred opponent. SC Reichmannsdorf, a district league team from Upper Franconia, has decided to play against TSV 1860 Munich. This clash is scheduled for July 22, 2025, so fans of both clubs can look forward to the game, as t-online.de highlights.
The other matches in the first main round, which will take place between July 18th and 20th, include numerous exciting games, including:
- SG Alerheim – SSV Jahn Regensburg
- FSV Harthof München – FC Ingolstadt
- FC Gerolzhofen – Würzburger Kickers
- 1. FC Kalchreuth – Wacker Burghausen
- TSV Großheubach – Viktoria Aschaffenburg
- und viele mehr …
The third division teams, including the surprise team TSV 1860 Munich, will play on July 22nd.
Toto Cup and its tradition
The Toto Cup, which has been held since 1998, is another highlight in the Bavarian football calendar. The winner qualifies for the first round of the DFB Cup the following year. SV Illertissen is currently the defending champion, as can be found on bfv.de. The record holder is SSV Jahn Regensburg with five titles, while TSV 1860 Munich last won the cup in 2020.
The excitement is now palpable for the fans, and everyone can look forward to a real football festival in the run-up to the first main round. The final is expected to take place on May 23, 2026 as part of the amateur final day and will make fans' hearts beat faster.
