About EHF European League
The EHF European League is the second-tier club handball competition in Europe, sitting below the Champions League. It's a knockout tournament that runs from September through May. The competition gives ambitious clubs from Germany, France, Spain, and Scandinavia a shot at European silverware. The knockout rounds are underway, with the EHF Finals taking place in May.
Top teams
The European League features clubs that just missed the Champions League cut. SG Flensburg-Handewitt from Germany is a regular contender. French clubs like Nantes and Montpellier have won it in recent years. Spanish sides like Granollers and Ademar León are always in the mix. Baltic and Scandinavian clubs also make deep runs. The level is high. The gap between the Champions League and European League is smaller than in soccer.
Format
The tournament starts with a group stage. Teams are drawn into groups, with the top sides advancing to the knockout rounds. The knockout stage is two-leg ties until the EHF Finals, where the last four teams play a single weekend semifinal and final at a neutral venue. The format is similar to the Champions League, but the field is smaller and the competition is wide open.
Viewership
The European League pulls around 10 million viewers annually. The numbers are strongest in Germany, France, and Spain, where handball has big followings. The EHF Finals draw the largest audiences. The tournament doesn't have the same prestige as the Champions League, but it's a major event for handball fans across Europe.
