Men's EHF EURO 2026 group E throws off on Saturday with the world runners-up Croatia pitting sides with Georgia. Co-hosts and EHF EURO 2022 winners Sweden take on the Netherlands, the same opponents they edged in a narrow win in the group phase at the EHF EURO 2024.

If Germany and Spain win their respective matches against Serbia and Austria in group A in Herning, both have already booked their main round tickets. Meanwhile France and Norway can also secure their main round berths if they beat Ukraine and Czechia respectively in group C.
