Gladbach's defeat meant they would be placed in the 2014–15 UEFA Europa League play-off round.[10] Mainz will be competing in the 2014–15 UEFA Europa League third qualifying round due to their victory over Hamburg.[9] Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich, runners-up Borussia Dortmund, and third placed Schalke 04 will all enter the 2014–15 UEFA Champions League group stage.

DFB–Pokal
The 2013–14 DFB-Pokal had sixty-four teams participate in the competition. Participants included all clubs from the 2012–13 Bundesliga and 2012–13 2. Bundesliga, except Dynamo Dresden who were banned from this season's competition. The best four teams of the 2012–13 3. Liga and twenty-five teams from the twenty-one regional associations completed the entrants to the tournament.[14] The first round matches were played from 2 August to 5 August. SC Wiedenbrück 2000 were the only 4th division club to make it past the first round. They were paired with 2. Bundesliga side SV Sandhausen. Only two matches in the second round were between Bundesliga clubs. The second round matches were played on 24 and 25 September.[15] 1. FC Saarbrücken were the only third division club to make it to the third round. They were drawn against Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund. The third round matches were played on 3 and 4 December.[16] After the third round, 1. FC Kaiserslautern were the last 2. Bundesliga club in the competition. They were paired with Bayer Leverkusen. The quarter-finals were played on 11 and 12 February.[17] Kaiserslautern beat Leverkusen in the quarter-finals to be the only 2. Bundesliga club in the semi-finals along with three Bundesliga clubs.[18] Title holders Bayern Munich were paired with Kaiserslautern and last season's runners-up Borussia Dortmund were paired with VfL Wolfsburg in the semi-finals.[19] The semi-finals matches were played on 15 and 16 April. Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund played each other in the 2014 DFB-Pokal Final on 17 May.[20] After 90 minutes of regulation time, no goals had been scored. Extra time was needed for the first time since 1992 to decide a winner. Goals from Arjen Robben and Thomas Müller during extra time gave Bayern Munich a 2–0 victory. This title, along with the Bundesliga title, completed a domestic double for Bayern.[21]
