START WATCHING HERE ONLY $14.99 PER WEEK

As usual, your options for watching the 2026 EHF Euro will vary depending on where you live. However, not as usual, the availability of ehfTV has significantly changed. And, I’ve got some good news and bad new for you. The good news is that ehfTV will be geoblocked in fewer nations. The bad news is that ehfTV is no longer free. That said, a subscription for every EHF Euro match is 11.99 Euros. (There also is an individual match option for 2.99 Euros/match) This is a very reasonable price for a dedicated fan like me and probably still low enough for a sizable percentage of casual fans, too. I think just about everyone is a bit annoyed with subscription fees for multiple services, but this is pretty good value.

Here’s a list of the nations that will have no matches or just some matches available on ehfTV

No matches: Faroe Islands, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Poland, France and GermanySome matches: Spain and SwitzerlandAll matches: Rest of WorldFor nations without a TV contract your viewing options are pretty simple: Either pay for ehfTV or don’t watch the EHF Euros. In nations where there is a TV contract and ehfTV is available you’ll need to do a calculus of whether your in country TV viewing options will suffice. (i.e. you might only get some matches available on TV and you’ll need to decide whether you’ll want to pay for ehfTV to watch the other matches.)

Previously, I would add a note about using VPN to possibly get around geo-blocking, but this is less practical now. It might be possible to get access to a handful of matches, but I think even in countries like Germany you would then need to pay for a subscription to access the Dyn streaming service. And, of course, there are piracy options, but is it really worth it to watch a grainy feed on a shady site? The choice is yours, but 11.99 Euros seems like a way better deal to me.

USA Broadcaster Interest

My efforts to help facilitate some of the matches being shown on a U.S. TV or streaming channel came up short, but there was some good dialogue. As past inquiries have often resulted in no response whatsoever, this has me feeling a bit optimistic. And, that maybe, just maybe this will lead to future broadcasts for other competitions in the not too distant future.

At a top level major handball tournaments are starting to feel a bit like the Liga ASOBAL with Denmark playing the role of Barcelona. And, with the exciting question be who will get 2nd place. Of course, that’s just what it “feels” like and Denmark actually hasn’t won the European Championship since 2012. So, we’ll see if the curse continues or whether Denmark is doubly motivated to win it again. For sure, the betting odds have them as heavy favorites at -300 or 1/3 odds or a 75% implied chance to win the tournament
