Leinster will have a home tie against French side Toulon in the Round of 16 in the Heineken Champions Cup. Munster meanwhile will face four time champions Toulouse at home.
Reigning Heineken Cup champions Exeter face a round-of-16 date with Lyon and a potential heavyweight quarter-final clash against either Leinster or Toulon at Sandy Park.
Teams in the Champions Cup and Challenge Cup found out their fate after the draws were made in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Two-time winners Wasps were the only English club guaranteed home advantage after winning both pool games on the field, with results not impacted by Covid-19.
Wasps will host Clermont Auvergne with the winners playing Munster or four-time winners Toulouse at home in the last eight.
Bristol will travel to Bordeaux-Begles in the last 16, the Bears having beat the French side on their way to win the Challenge Cup in 2020.
The winners will be at home to Racing 92 or Edinburgh in the last eight.
Gloucester welcome La Rochelle to Kingsholm in the round of 16 and victory will secure a home tie against either Scarlets or Sale, who must head to west Wales for their knockout clash.
