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.

Association ranking

Ten of the sixteen teams competiting in the Group Stage will be determined through the EHF association ranking for the 2024–25 season, based on the results of the three previous seasons. The remaining six places will be awarded as wildcards.

  • Associations ranked 1–9 have their league champion qualify for the Group Stage and can apply their league runner-up for a wildcard.
  • The best-ranked association in the EHF European League can have its league champion and runner-up qualify for the Group Stage, but cannot apply for a wildcard.
  • Associations ranked outside the top 9 can only have their league champion apply for a wildcard.
