The winners were Austria, Hungary and Switzerland, who defeated the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia bid, 28–21, in the second round.

[1][8] On 12 January 2023, the Hungarian government's chancellery minister, Gergely Gulyás, announced that Hungary would withdraw as hosts due to financial reasons.

[10] On 28 January, the European Handball Federation released a statement concerning the issue, and said that they were amazed and surprised with the decision to potentially withdraw as co-hosts.

Hungary remained as a co-host, but played a reduced part in the hosting of the competition, including the whole portion of the tournament at the MVM Dome in Budapest (one Main Round group and the Final Weekend) being axed and replaced by Vienna.

[13] The final weekend was scheduled to be held at the MVM Dome in Budapest, Hungary, but later it was replaced with the Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna, Austria.

The idea was proposed by the Euro Delegation, but the EHF competitions commission strongly opposed the proposal, due to the fact that: Despite the opposition from the competitions commission, the EHF received positive feedback from their new commercial partners, Infront and DAZN about the possible expansion.

[18] On 5 April 2019, based on the recommendations by the working group, the EHF officially decided to expand the tournament to 24 teams.

Debuting in the first 24 team championship are Faroe Islands and Türkiye, with the former becoming the smallest nation ever to qualify for the finals.

Denmark were the first team to secure qualification after defeating Poland in February,[20] while the Danes, Germany, Hungary and Norway all continue their flawless record of making every European Championship.
