Cardiff Blues will kick-off their 2017-18 Anglo-Welsh Cup campaign with a trip to face Newcastle Falcons at Kingston Park.
They then return to Cardiff Arms Park for a home clash against Welsh rivals Ospreys before arguably the tie of the competition against reigning champions Leicester Tigers.
Tigers defeated Exeter Chiefs in the final at Twickenham Stoop, with new Cardiff Blues recruit Jack Roberts playing a key role in the centre for the East Midlands side.
The Blues will also welcome London Irish to the Welsh capital in the fourth and final round of the pool stages.
