Cardiff will learn their opponents for the 2020/21 Champions Hockey League on Wednesday 3 June at 1700 UK time.

The draw, which was moved back after the 2020 World Championships were cancelled, will see 32 teams drawn straight into a Round of 32. The CHL previously announced changes to its format due to the delayed season start in much of Europe.
