Format edit

In each group, teams played against each other in a double round-robin format, with home and away matches.

Tiebreakers edit

In the group stage, teams were ranked according to points (2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). After completion of the group stage, if two or more teams have the same number of points, the ranking is determined as follows:

  1. Highest number of points in matches between the teams directly involved;
  2. Superior goal difference in matches between the teams directly involved;
  3. Highest number of goals scored in matches between the teams directly involved (or in the away match in case of a two-team tie);
  4. Superior goal difference in all matches of the group;
  5. Highest number of plus goals in all matches of the group;

If the ranking of one of these teams is determined, the above criteria are consecutively followed until the ranking of all teams is determined. If no ranking can be determined, a decision shall be obtained by EHF through drawing of lots.

Groups edit

The matchdays were 16–17 September, 23–24 September, 30 September–1 October, 14–15 October, 21–22 October, 28–29 October, 18–19 November, 25–26 November, 2–3 December, 9–10 December 2020, 10–11 February, 17–18 February, 24–25 February, 3–4 March 2021.[4]

Times until 25 October 2020 are UTC+2, from 26 October 2020 on times are UTC+1.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, each local health department allows a different number of spectators.

On 10 February 2021, after a decision by the EHF Executive Committee, it was announced that all 16 teams advance to the knockout stage.[5]

The matches which could not be played were assessed.[6][7]
