The first leg in Greece will be played on either Wednesday, 18 February at 21:00 CET. The return fixture at the BayArena will be the following Tuesday, 24 February at the same time.
Tickets for the away leg will be exclusively available for club members and season ticket holders from 4 February. Sales for the home leg will begin on 5 February.
Speaking after the draw, managing director sport Simon Rolfes said: “Olympiacos is obviously an appealing draw because we lost there just recently. That annoyed us, so we’re excited for the chance to get revenge. The team is motivated to do better. I believe we can learn and are ready to approach the game correctly.”
Should the Werkself progress, they will learn their round of 16 opponent in the draw on 27 February. That would be against either Bayern Munich or Arsenal, with the first leg in Leverkusen.
The round of 16 fixtures will be played on 10/11 and 17/18 March, the quarter-finals on 7/8 and 14/15 April, the semi-finals on 28/29 April and 5/6 May, with the final in Budapest on Saturday, 30 May.

Bayer 04 put in a brilliant performance to beat RB Leipzig 4-1 on Bundesliga matchday 32 and are now fourth in a Champions League spot. The Black and Reds took control of the game right from the start and, with 75 per cent possession at one stage, took a 2-0 lead into the break through Patrik Schick (25’) and Nathan Tella (45+1’). The visitors initially tried to do more after the break, but the Werkself remained determined and Schick scored his second goal to increase the lead to 3-0 (76'). The Red Bulls pulled a goal back through Christoph Baumgartner (80'), but the disciplined Leverkusen side were not rattled - and certainly not Schick: The Czechia international crowned a brilliant display with his third goal shortly before the final whistle to make the final score 4-1.

In the previous game against RB Leipzig in December last year, the Werkself turned came from behind to win 3-1 and further improved Leverkusen's already strong record against the Red Bulls. Montrell Culbreath stood out with his first goal on his debut for the Black and Reds. While the 18-year-old would certainly like to score a second goal against Leipzig on Saturday night, the attack-minded visitors come to the BayArena in confident mood after five Bundesliga victories in a row. The Nordkurve12 supporters group knows the Werkself will therefore once again be reliant on the vociferous support of the fans, and has once again called for the ‘Finally Red’ campaign in the run-in. Today’s matchday news.
