The details for the matches have been confirmed, with the Hibees taking on Villa at Easter Road in the first-leg.
The game at Easter Road will take place on Wednesday 23 August, 2023 and kick-off at 5.45pm.
The game will take place on the Wednesday due to Hearts’ progression into the same round of the competition. When two sides from the same city both progress – and have both been drawn at home in the first leg – UEFA use last season’s league table to decide who plays on the Thursday.
The match is also taking place at 5.45pm as UEFA do not allow UEFA Europa Conference League games to take place at the same time as UEFA Champions League games. 5.45pm was the latest kick-off time the Club could attain following UEFA regulations.
Full ticket information for the game against Aston Villa will be revealed in due course.
The second leg at Villa Park will take place a week later on Thursday 31 August, 2023 and kick-off at 8pm.
Full ticket information on the away leg will also be detailed in due course.
