Chelsea will play Copenhagen in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Conference League, following the draw conducted on Friday.
The Blues, who finished at the top of the 36-team league phase and secured the No.1 seeding, will face the Danish side, with the first leg scheduled to take place in Denmark on March 6. The return leg will be held one week later.
The draw also separated Chelsea from Fiorentina, who will face Panathinaikos in their Round of 16 tie. Fiorentina, who have reached the final of the competition twice but lost both times, cannot meet Chelsea until a potential final on May 28 in Wroclaw, Poland.
If Chelsea triumph over Copenhagen, they will face either Legia Warsaw or Molde in the quarter-finals.
