Arsenal, Man City and Celtic discovered their Women's Champions League qualifying round two opponents on Monday, with all three set to play the first legs away from home.
Jonas Eidevall's Gunners - who beat Rangers and Rosenborg to reach this stage of the tournament - will face BK Hacken of Sweden, who reached the quarter-finals last season.
The teams faced one another in the quarter-finals of the Champions League back in 2011/12, with Arsenal running out 3-2 winners.
Man City start their campaign at the second round by virtue of having finished second in the WSL last season.
They face Paris FC, who beat Real Madrid home and away in last season's group stages but finished third in a group that contained both Chelsea and BK Hacken.
Celtic were the only British team to be involved in the Champions Path draw, having won the Scottish Women's Premier League in 2023/24.
They, too, begin their campaign at this stage with a tie against Ukrainian champions Vorskla Poltava.
The first legs of the two-legged ties will take place on September 18 and 19, with the returns on September 25 and 26.
The winners of the round-two qualifying fixtures will progress to the group stages of the competition, joining Barcelona, Lyon, Bayern Munich and Chelsea.
