Ulster must overcome Toulouse in France this weekend to reach the semi-finals, where they would either have home advantage against Northampton or travel again to take on the Exeter Chiefs.
Should Ulster win in Toulouse on Sunday, they would be facing into a six-day turnaround before their semi-final, as would their opposition.
That second semi-final will be screened on BT Sport in Ireland and the UK.
EPCR’s statement confirms that the highest-ranked clubs from the pool stage will have home venue advantage in the semi-finals “on an exceptional basis to facilitate the conclusion of the season.”
The rankings from number one to eight are as follows: Leinster, Exeter, Toulouse, Clermont, Racing, Ulster, Northampton, Saracens.
Meanwhile, the Challenge Cup semi-finals will take place on Friday 25 September [KO 7.45pm Irish time] and Saturday 26 September [KO 8pm Irish time].
