Pep Guardiola's side are one of the favourites to win the tournament and are currently unbeaten in the Premier League after 16 games.
The first legs will be played on 13, 14, 20 and 21 February, with the return legs played on 6, 7, 13 and 14 March 2018.
Basel finished runners-up to Manchester United in Group A after taking an impressive 12 points from six games, including victory over Jose Mourinho's side in Switzerland.
They are the biggest outsiders to win the competition outright, with some bookmakers having Basel as 530/1 to be crowned champions next May.
