The draw for the play-off round was held on 21 March 2018, 19:00 EET (UTC+2), at the Ritz Carlton in Cairo, Egypt.[8][9] The winners of the Confederation Cup first round were drawn against the losers of the Champions League first round, with the teams from the Confederation Cup hosting the second leg.

* Pot B contained the four highest-ranked winners of the Confederation Cup first round.
* Pot C contained the twelve lowest-ranked losers of the Champions League first round.
* Pot D contained the twelve lowest-ranked winners of the Confederation Cup first round.

First, a team from Pot A and a team from Pot D were drawn into four ties. Next, a team from Pot B and a team from Pot C were drawn into four ties. Finally, the remaining teams from Pot C and Pot D were drawn into the last eight ties.[11]
