The European Handball Federation has assessed and given its verdict on this season's matches that could not be played in the EHF Champions League Men and the EHF European League Men.

The assessment process in general follows a decision of the EHF Executive Committee earlier in December which had given the federation’s competitions department the mandate that matches, which could not be played and rescheduled, will be graded and inserted in the respective competition’s calculation.
