The Men's EHF EURO moved from a 24-team opening phase across Denmark, Norway and Sweden to a final-weekend pairing between Denmark and Germany. On 30 January, Germany beat Croatia 31-28 before Denmark overcame Iceland 31-28 in Herning.

The championship doubled as a route into the 2027 IHF Men's World Championship. The January archive stops at the semifinal result; the official record shows Denmark later won the 1 February final 34-27.
