The Pool 1 fixture is the only game in the opening round of group fixtures that will take place on the Friday night, with the other matches being spread over Saturday and Sunday.
The Warriors are away to Munster eight days later in round two, then visit Racing 92, the French champions and last season's losing finalists, in December's third round. The traditional back-to-back pattern of the third and fourth rounds sees Racing come to Scotland for the return match nine days before Christmas.
The dates, kick-off times and a television schedule for the final two rounds of pool fixtures will be announced after the completion of round four. Glasgow's final games will be at home to Munster and away to Leicester.
