Already every game from the VELUX EHF Champions League and the Women’s EHF Champions League is available on the EHF’s dedicated online TV platform.

The matches that have now been chosen for the national team premiere feature some of the best teams in European handball, including 2007 world champions, Germany, 2009 World Championship bronze medallists, Poland, and 2011 World Championship bronze medallists, Spain.
