The tournament runs from January 13 to 20 at the venue, with the top 16 players around the world. There is a £200,000 first prize, and the winner receives the Paul Hunter Trophy.
Allen defeated Kyren Wilson last season 10-7 in the final, and will meet Brecel as he begins his defence.
Ronnie O'Sullivan, a seven-time winner of the Masters, will face Stuart Bingham.
Neil Robertson takes on World Champion Mark Williams, and Kyren Wilson faces off against Judd Trump, who have enjoyed something of a feisty rivalry of late.
