Rovers will make the trip to League Two outfit Harrogate Town in the second round of the Carabao Cup.
Jon Dahl Tomasson’s side edged a seven-goal thriller against Walsall in the opening round at Ewood Park thanks to goals from Zak Gilsenan, Niall Ennis, Jake Garrett and John Buckley.
Rovers reached the fourth round last season and also progressed to the quarter-final of the FA Cup.
Meanwhile, Burnley face a trip to the City Ground to take on Nottingham Forest in an all-Premier League tie.
The draw was carried out by former Leicester defender Wes Morgan and ex-Aston Villa boss Martin O’Neill.
The competition remains regionalised at this stage, with separate draws taking place for the northern and southern sections.
A number of top flight clubs enter the competition in the second round including the likes of Chelsea and Tottenham.
All second-round fixtures are currently scheduled to take place on Tuesday, August 30 and Wednesday, August 31.
