The 2022 EHF European Men's Handball Championship was the 15th edition of the tournament and the second to feature 24 national teams. It was co-hosted in two countries – Hungary and Slovakia – from 13 to 30 January 2022. For the matches in Slovakia the spectator capacity was only 25% due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In Hungary the capacity was 100%.


Sweden won their first title in 20 years after defeating defending champions Spain in the final. Denmark captured the bronze medal after defeating France. Hosts Hungary and Slovakia finished 15th and 18th.
