2024–25 EHF European League qualification round

This article is about the men's competition. For the women's competition, see 2024–25 Women's EHF European League qualification round.

The 2024–25 EHF European League qualification round decided the last ten qualifiers for the European League group stage.

Format

Twenty teams were split into ten play offs. While eighteen teams took part in the normal play offs, two clubs were pre-seeded to play against each other in special play off. The winners of the special play off would reach the group stage but unlike the other teams who are immediately eliminated, the special play off loser drop downs to the 2024–25 EHF European Cup. The play offs were held in a home and away format. Whoever has the highest score on aggregate won the tie and secured a place in the group stage.
