2024–25 EHF European League main round
The 2024–25 EHF European League main round was played between 11 February and 4 March 2025 to determine the twelve teams advancing to the knockout stage of the 2024–25 EHF European League.[1]
Qualified teams
Format
In each group, teams played against the teams they didn't play in the group stage. Games involving teams who advanced from the same group in the previous round are carried over to the main round.
Tiebreakers
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), and if tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria were applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings:
- Points in matches among tied teams;
- Goal difference in matches among tied teams;
- Goal difference in all group matches;
- Goals scored in all group matches;
- If more than two teams were tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams were still tied, all head-to-head criteria above were reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams;
- Drawing lots.
Groups
All times are local.
