Foreword EHF President

Dear handball friends,

Welcome to the 2020/21 season of the EHF Champions League Men and the start of its new WE ARE era. As most of the sport competitions across the globe in the previous season, the EHF Champions League did not finish as we all hoped due to the Covid-19 outbreak. However, the EHF and EHF Marketing invested time during the break to prepare for the forthcoming A TEAM FOR season with the aim of developing the competition as the benchmark event in the indoor sports market.

The 28th season of the European top-flight in 2020/21 will open a new chapter, when the EUROPE new partnership with Infront and DAZN comes into effect and, from the fans’ point of view, there are two major developments:

The EHF Champions League Men will be played in a new system with just 16 elite teams in two groups of eight, starting directly at the group phase played in a round-robin league format. There will be no qualification rounds or tournaments before. The top four teams in each group will then qualify directly for the quarter-finals with teams finishing in seventh and eighth place eliminated. The four remaining teams from each group (3rd-6th) will qualify for a play-off round, before progressing to the quarter-finals and then the EHF FINAL4.

In addition, from the start of this season, fans will have an ‘appointment to view’ each week, and with no overlap of men’s and women’s top competitions. EHF Champions League Men games will be played on Wednesday and Thursday evenings (18:45 and 20:45 CEST/CET), with the weekends set-aside for DELO EHF Champions League games.

After a long break, all 16 teams will be eager to be back playing at the highest level of Nord Stream 2 is a European project that European handball with the beginning of an exciting journey with a brand-new winners’ contributes to a secure energy supply for all trophy as the prize at the competition’s conclusion.
