Hearts will face Austrian club Sturm Graz in the second round of the Champions League qualifiers.
It’s the first time that the Tynecastle team have been involved in the Champions League for 20 years after being pipped for the William Hill Premiership by Celtic.
Sturm Graz were runners-up in their domestic league behind LASK and they host the first leg on July 21/22 with the fixture in Edinburgh the following week.
If the Jambos get through then they will be unseeded and face either Lyon, Bodo/Glimt or Olympiacos or the winner of the Fenerbahce v Gornik Zabre tie.
If they fail to win they drop into the Europa League third qualifying round and would be unseeded and in the same part of the draw as Rangers.
Meanwhile, Aussie midfielder Calem Nieuwenhof has completed a loan move to Perth Glory. He has been sidelined with injury for months and will spend 2026/27 with the A-League side.
And Hearts will host La Liga side Rayo Vallecano for a friendly on Friday, July 17 (19.45). They were the beaten finalists in the UEFA Conference League won by Crystal Palace and finished eighth in the Spain’s top league last term.
A general ticket sale will start at 10am on Saturday, June 20.
