Following four wins from the four pool stage games, Ulster Rugby have finished in second place in Pool A of the Heineken Champions Cup, and will now play Toulouse (seventh placed team in Pool B) in the Round of 16.
The Round of 16 will be played over two legs across two consecutive weekends in April.
As a result of finishing in the top four in their Pool, Ulster will have home advantage for the second leg at Kingspan Stadium on the weekend of 15-17 April. The first leg will be played at Toulouse on the weekend of 8-10 April.
Exact dates and kick-off times will be confirmed by tournament organisers EPCR in due course. At that point, Ulster Rugby will provide an update on all ticketing arrangements, including priority booking windows for Season Ticket holders.
Should Ulster make it through the Round of 16, a home Quarter-Final against Munster or Exeter would be the reward on the weekend of 6-8 May.
