Liverpool will meet Hoffenheim in the Champions League play-off.
The Reds were handed arguably the hardest possible tie as Jurgen Klopp heads back to Germany.
It will also be a return for Roberto Firmino, who spent four years with the Sinsheim club.
Hoffenheim, managed by 30-year-old Julian Nagelsmann, finished fourth in last season’s Bundesliga, just two points behind Borussia Dortmund.
The first leg will be at the Rhein-Neckar-Arena on August 15/16, with the return leg at Anfield on August 22/23.
Hoffenheim were one of the league’s surprise packages last season but have since sold Niklas Sule and Sebastian Rudy to Bayern Munich.
The Reds sealed their progress into the qualifier by finishing fourth in last season’s Premier League, confirmed with a final day 3-0 win over Middlesbrough.
The ties will take place on August 15/16, with the second leg August 22/23.
