Ulster will face Northampton Saints at stadium:mk in Milton Keynes the following day (Sunday) at 2pm.
The other quarter-finals are all French affairs but both will take place in Northern Spain. Perpignan's clash with Toulon will get the weekend underway on Saturday at the 55,000 capacity Olympic Stadium in Barcelona.
The clash of Toulouse and Biarritz at Estadio Anoeta in San Sebastian, near Biarritz, will round of the weekend's action in the second Sunday match.
The semi-finals will pit the winners of the Leinster v Leicester clash against either Biarritz or Toulouse and the winners of Ulster v Northampton against Perpignan or Toulon.
If Leinster or Ulster win their quarter-final matches, their semi-final will take place in Ireland.
