2026 European Men's Handball Championship qualification#Relegation round

Prior to the qualification, four teams were automatically qualified:

• Denmark, Norway and Sweden as co-hosts;
• The best-placed team from the 2024 European Men's Handball Championship, other than the 2026 tournament co-hosts.

The remaining eligible teams contested a qualification tournament to determine the teams securing the remaining 20 places in the final tournament. The qualification tournament consisted of three rounds: qualification phase 1, promotion round, and qualification phase 2.

• Qualification phase 1:
• Four teams;
• Round-robin tournament format;
• Top-ranked team after all matches played advanced to the promotion round.

• Promotion round:
• Six teams:
• Qualification phase 1 winner,
• Four of the lowest-ranked fourth-placed teams of the previous cycle qualifiers round,
• Best European team at the 2023 IHF Emerging Nations Championship;
• Two-legged tie format;
• Three aggregate winners advanced to the qualification phase 2.

• Qualification phase 2:
• Thirty-two teams:
• Three promotion round winners
• Remaining eight teams eliminated in the previous cycle qualifiers round
• Twenty teams that participated in the 2024 European Championship, but did not qualify directly to the 2026 final tournament
• Round-robin tournament format: eight groups of four teams;
• Group winners, group runners-up, and the four best third-placed teams qualified for the final tournament.

Since only four teams participate in this round, no draw was needed, other than the hosting rights.{{cite web|url=https://ehfeuro.eurohandball.com/men/2022/news/en/ehf-euro-2026-road-begins-with-qualification-phase-1-draw/|title=EHF EURO 2026 road begins with qualification phase 1 draw|publisher=eurohandball.com|date=12 October 2022}}{{cite web|url=https://ehfeuro.eurohandball.com/news/en/cyprus-wins-right-to-host-ehf-euro-2026-qualification-tournament/|title=Cyprus wins right to host EHF EURO 2026 qualification tournament|publisher=eurohandball.com|date=13 October 2022}} Although Cyprus had the hosting rights, it declined and the rights moved to Azerbaijan.
