The preliminary round of the Men’s EHF EURO 2026 concluded on Wednesday in Malmö, and the main round throws off on Thursday in Herning. There are still 12 teams in the race for the medals: six starting with two points, and six with zero points, including co-hosts and pre-tournament favourites Denmark.

The time has come for the second EHF EURO power ranking, taking the preliminary round results into account. While the same 10 teams feature, there have been some position changes.
