The draw is scheduled for August 25, the first match day is scheduled for September 6 and 7.

Union is second and starts in the third qualifying round of the Champions League. In it, it will be drawn on July 18 as a non-seeds head against Benfica, Rangers, Dinamo Kiev (if that club survives the second preliminary round) or a fourth club to be determined. The first legs will be played on August 2 and 3, the return matches on August 9. If Union survives that round, it must survive another play-off round before reaching the group stage.
