The 2020 EHF European Men's Handball Championship was the 14th edition of the tournament and the first to feature 24 national teams.

Due to the decision to merge the bids, the EHF decided to bring forward the expansion of the tournament to 24 teams, which was originally going to start in 2022.

[12] On 27 December 2019, EHF replaced the Serbian referee pair Nenad Nikolić and Dušan Stojković with the Latvian referee pair Zigmārs Sondors and Renārs Līcis, due to an injury and late recovery of Nikolić in late October.

Points and goals gained in the preliminary group against teams that advance were transferred to the main round.
