The 2026 EHF European Women's Handball Championship, commonly referred to as the EHF Euro 2026, will be the 17th edition of the EHF European Women's Handball Championship, the biennial international women's handball championship of Europe organized by EHF. The tournament will be held from 3 to 20 December 2026.

The championship was originally scheduled to be held in Russia, who were stripped of their hosting rights due to the invasion of Ukraine.[1] On 8 March 2024, it was announced that all five applicants, Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Turkey will co-host the tournament, marking the first time the event was staged in more than three countries.[2] The final will be held in Katowice, Poland.

24 teams will participate for the second time. Qualification took place in March 2024 to April 2025 to decide the qualifiers. The five co-hosts qualified automatically, alongside the top three from 2024, Norway, Denmark and Hungary. Greece will make their debut.

This tournament will act as a qualifier for the 2027 World Women's Handball Championship in Hungary and 2028 EHF Euro edition in Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

Norway are the defending champions, having beaten Denmark in the 2024 final in Vienna.

Bid process

[edit]

First bidding process

[edit]

Bids

[edit]

On 11 May 2021 it was announced that the following nations sent in an official expression of interest:[3]

On 20 October the final bids were presented. The Scandinavian bid was withdrawn, leaving Russia unopposed.[4][5]

As only the Russian bid remained it was unanimously selected at the 14th EHF Extraordinary Congress on 20 November 2021.[6][7]

Second bidding process

[edit]

On 4 July 2023, the EHF confirmed that Russia would not host the event due to the war in Ukraine,[8] and thus reopened the bidding process. On 25 October, the EHF announced the official bids.

The hosts were originally going to be announced on 28 January 2024 in Cologne, but the EHF decided to delay the announcement to April while also inviting every bidding nation to a meeting in mid-February.[9]

During the meeting in mid-February, Romanian media reported that a possible five-country co-hosting plan was being negotiated by all five bidding countries and the EHF after it was reported that none of the three bids fulfilled all the requirements.[10]

On 8 March 2024, the EHF announced all five countries, Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Turkey, as co-hosts.[2] This marks the second time a European championship has been held in more than four countries, after UEFA Euro 2020.

Draw

[edit]
The Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in Katowice hosted the draw.

The draw was originally going to take place on 16 May 2026,[33] but was brought forward to 16 April 2026 at 18:00 CEST at the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in Katowice, Poland.[34][35][36] The draw was hosted by Polish sports journalist, Piotr Sobczyński [pl].[37] Czech player, Silvie Polášková, Polish international Katarzyna Cygan [no], Slovak national team player, Barbora Lancz and Turkish player Elif Sıla Aydın were the guests and assisted with the draw. The draw started with, in order, pots 2, 3, 1 and 4 being drawn. Each selected teams' group would then get decided by another pot.

Chosen teams

[edit]

As early as February 2024, Hungary was reported to be the only team that was not a co-host to be pre-drawn into a group, being drawn into group in Oradea, likely due to its proximity to the Hungarian border.[38] The co-hosts were all seeded into their home groups.
