As a First League team, Dukla entered the Cup at the second round stage. In the second round, Dukla faced fourth division side Neratovice–Byškovice, winning 4–0 away from home. The third round match against FC MAS Táborsko of the second league was a closer game; goals from Lukáš Štetina and Tomáš Přikryl helped Dukla to a 2–1 away win.
In the fourth round, Dukla faced another second league team, being paired with Ústí nad Labem. Dukla won both matches of the two-legged tie by a 3–0 scoreline, going through 6–0 on aggregate. At the quarter-final stage, the home game against fellow First League team FK Jablonec finished goalless. The return leg, two weeks later, saw Jablonec win 2–1 and subsequently progress to the semi-final stage at Dukla's expense. This was the third time Jablonec had ended Dukla's cup run in five years, having previously done so in the 2010–11 and 2011–12 editions of the competition.
