While PSG have been runners-up on three occasions, they have failed to make it past the semi-final stage for the last three seasons.
As a result of finishing second in Division 1 Feminine last term, PSG had to negotiate a qualifying round tie to progress to the group stage.
The French side cruised to a 4-1 aggregate victory over Hacken to secure their place in a group that features Chelsea, Real Madrid and Vllaznia.
PSG will head into Tuesday's contest in a confident mood after embarking on a seven-game unbeaten run since losing to Lyon in the Trophees des Championnes.
The hosts have also been in impressive form at home this season, winning all four competitive games by a 9-3 scoreline.

Meanwhile, Chelsea will be aiming to win the competition for the first time in their history after losing to Barcelona in the 2020-21 final.
The Blues failed to match their memorable run to the final in last season's Champions League campaign when they were unable to progress from the group stage.
Chelsea were drawn into a group that contained Wolfsburg and Juventus last term, and their task will not get any easier this time around.
After leading the team to a 3-1 victory over Everton on Sunday, Denise Reddy will continue to take charge of on-field matters in the absence of Emma Hayes, who is recovering from an emergency hysterectomy.
The Blues will travel to Paris off the back of three consecutive victories where they have scored at least two goals in each game.
