Hibs will come up against Vikingur or Inter Club D'Escaldes as they begin their Europa Conference League journey.
Lee Johnson's men earned a crack at reaching the big stage after a combination of finishing fifth in the Scottish Premiership table last season and Celtic lifting the Scottish Cup. That win over Inverness meant that the Europa League place that comes with lifting the famous old trophy went to third place Aberdeen with Hearts in fourth also getting a boost by moving to the third qualifying round of the same competition as their city rivals.
For the Hibees, they kick off in the second qualifying round and face a home and away two-legged tie to reach the next round. In order to reach the lucrative group stages they will need to safely navigate three ties.

Should they advance to the next stage they will play the following week in their first leg with the second one week later.
