Highland League champions Brora Rangers and Lowland League winners Kelty Hearts will be included in the draw with Lowland League runners-up East Kilbride also in the draw after drawing lots with Fraserburgh.
The 40 teams, which do not include the five clubs who will represent Scotland in European competition, will be drawn in eight groups of five on a seeded and regional basis.
The eight group winners and three best runners-up will join European qualifiers Rangers, Celtic, Hibernian, Aberdeen and cup holders St Johnstone in the last 16 of the competition.
