Qualification Phase 2[]

The groups would have been played in a home and away round-robin format from September 2019 to May 2020. The top two teams would have been qualified for the main tournament.

The draw was held on 4 April 2019.[2][3]

The European Handball Federation announced on 13 March 2020 that the matches from 25 to 29 March would not be held as scheduled due to the ongoing developments in the spread of COVID-19 across Europe.[4]

On 25 March, the EHF announced that no matches would be played before June due to the coronavirus pandemic. The rounds 3 to 6 would have been played in a single venue in one week.[5] Those rounds were cancelled on 24 April 2020.[6]
