The first leg is scheduled for July 21/22 and the second leg on July 28/29. Hearts were pulled out second so will play away from home first, with the second at Tynecastle.
UEFA note that the dates and kick-off times for both legs will be announced by Friday, June 26.
Victory would mean Hearts would be guaranteed Europa League league phase football even if they crashed out of the UCL at the third qualifying stage, while defeat would send them into the UEL third qualifying round. They would be unseeded and could face the likes of Benfica, Viktoria Plzen and Red Bull Salzburg.
