The rematch of the 2023 DFB Cup final against Eintracht Frankfurt will be shown live on free-to-air television. ZDF will broadcast the round of 16 match between the two top teams in the Bundesliga on December 4 (8.45 pm), as RB announced.
The two-time cup winners from Saxony had won the previous final in Berlin's Olympic Stadium 2:0. It was the first title with RB for head coach Rose, whose team defeated FC St. Pauli 4-2 in the second round. They had started the season with a 4:1 opening win at Rot-Weiss Essen. In the Bundesliga, ten days after the cup match on 14 December, RB will play the current third-placed team from Hesse, who are currently three points behind second-placed Leipzig in the Bundesliga.
RB sporting director Marcel Schäfer spoke of "an absolute top match. In the past, we have always delivered close and competitive duels, not forgetting the 2023 cup final".
