Revealed by tournament organisers on Thursday, Tigers’ European fixture list also features a first-ever trip to Viadana Rugby’s Stadio Luigi Zaffanella in Italy during October.
Two-time Heineken Cup winners Tigers, who reached the final of last year’s competition, then play back-to-back games with ASM Clermont Auvergne before Christmas.
Tigers will host Viadana Rugby at Welford Road in January before they travel to Ospreys’ Liberty Stadium in the final round of games in Pool 3.
Dates and kick-off times for rounds five and six will be set after the fourth round of fixtures in December.
Match ticket details and Tigers Travel Club packages for away games will be published soon on the Tigers website.
