Hearts are the only team confirmed so far, with the other 35 teams to be confirmed on Thursday. The draw will see the 36 teams placed into six pots, with pot one being the highest-ranked and six being the lowest, based on the club's Uefa club coefficient ranking from the five-season period ending at the conclusion of the 2025-26 season. Each team will face one team from each of the six pots and cannot face a team from the same country as themselves. The teams who finish in the top eight places will qualify for the Conference League's round of 16.
