While 25 teams advanced from round 2, which was wrapped up last weekend, seven new teams enter the competition for round 3.
The 32 teams in total were seeded into two pots prior to the draw. Each team from pot 1 was paired with one from pot 2, with the team being drawn first having the home right in the first leg.
Although no country protection rule was applied and teams from the same nation could potentially meet, the draw set up no national derbies for round 3.
The first leg will be played in the weekend of 8/9 November; the return leg is scheduled for 15/16 November. The aggregate winners advance to the Last 16 in January 2026.
