The 2024–25 EHF Champions League is the 65th edition of Europe's premier club handball tournament, running from September 2024 to June 2025.
Format
The tournament will run using the same format as the previous three seasons. The competition begins with a group stage featuring sixteen teams divided into two groups. Matches are played in a double round-robin system with home-and-away fixtures, fourteen in total for each team. In Groups A and B, the top two teams automatically qualify for the quarter-finals, with teams ranked 3rd to 6th entering the playoff round.
The knockout stage includes four rounds: the playoffs, quarter-finals, and a final-four tournament comprising two semifinals and the final. In the playoffs, eight teams are paired against each other in two-legged home-and-away matches (third-placed in group A plays sixth-placed group B; fourth-placed group A plays fifth-placed group B, etc.). The four aggregate winners of the playoffs advance to the quarterfinals, joining the top-two teams of Groups A and B. The eight quarterfinalist teams are paired against each other in two-legged home-and-away matches, with the four aggregate winners qualifying to the final-four tournament.
In the final four tournament, the semifinals and the final are played as single matches at a pre-selected host venue.
Rankings
This season, the EHF decided to make separate rankings for each club competition.[1]
- Associations 1–9 can have their league champion qualify for the Group Stage and apply for a wildcards.
- The Association that won the past season's EHF European League can have their league champion and runner up qualify for the Group Stage but cannot apply for a wildcard.
- Associations below the top 9 can only have their league champion apply for a Wildcard.
