15 Best Handball Streaming Services: Updated List 2026

Handball lovers sometimes want to stream a game or competition. Watching handball games can be a great way to spend one's leisure time. But amateur players can also learn skills and techniques from such games.

So, we will be discussing some popular handball streaming services and how you can access them. Because handball rights are sold country by country, we have also added a section covering the main platform in each of Europe's biggest handball nations — Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. We'll also talk about how you can stream local handball games. At the end, you can choose which handball streaming service is best for you.

XbotGo Falcon — Free AI Handball Streaming

The XbotGo Falcon is an all-in-one AI sports camera that offers free live handball streaming. Unlike phone-based rigs it is fully standalone, recording and tracking on its own hardware, so your phone stays in your pocket instead of sitting on a tripod all game. You control it from the Android or iOS app.

The AI tracks the ball and players on its own, so there is no need for a human cameraman. Dual AI lenses cover the whole court and the players at once, and the camera records native 4K at 30fps, or 1080p at 60fps with the latest firmware for clean slow-motion replays.

To go live, select handball mode and tap the live button, then pick your platform: YouTube, Facebook, full RTMP, or XbotGo Live. Handball fans only need a link to join. The camera also tags goals and misses, and the XbotGo app turns them into post-match highlights.

It is IPX5 weather-resistant for beach handball and outdoor tournaments, and battery life is around four hours — enough for warm-up plus a full match.

Access:

Core recording, tracking, and live streaming on the XbotGo Falcon work without a subscription, and it comes with 20 GB of free cloud storage. Fans can watch and share handball games from all over the world at no cost.

EHFTV

EHFTV is the official online platform of the EHF, the European Handball Federation. So you can watch European clubs and national teams compete live. Some of the featured competitions include the EHF Champions League, European League, and European Cup for both men and women.

The streaming service is free to watch, you only need to create an account on the website. But note that some content may be blocked in locations where TV partners like DAZN or Eurosport own exclusive rights. The list of regions where live games may be restricted includes Germany, France, and Spain.

The platform lacks an official app. But you can stream games using the web browser on PC and Mac via the ehftv.com website. Even in blocked countries, you can still access replays and highlights.

Access:

EHFTV does not need a subscription. You just have to create an account on the website. However, you cannot live stream some competitions or matches due to geo-blocking.

DAZN

DAZN is a global sports streaming service available in 200+ countries, including the US and UK. The service started with boxing and combat sports but now includes handball and other ball sports.

You can access handball content that DAZN has rights to. These rights vary by country, and they change from season to season. DAZN runs a dedicated handball section in several European markets, but which competitions appear there depends entirely on the deals in force where you live.

In Canada and the US, DAZN can cover certain IHF (International Handball Federation) competition games for men and women. Note that on DAZN, handball is region-specific. You'll see only the games licensed in your country.

DAZN pricing varies by region. But this fee allows you to access other sports content. You can stream the content on a web browser or via the mobile app. Also, you can live stream handball games with smart TVs and game consoles like PlayStation.

Access:

DAZN is a subscription-only service, with fees varying by region. Also, the platform employs geo-blocking. So, the available handball content will depend on your country — check the handball section for your market before subscribing.

HBL TV

HBL TV is the official streaming service of the German Handball-Bundesliga 1st and 2nd divisions. So it's the main source for live coverage, replays, and highlights in the league. But the service also covers other competitions like the Handball Super Cup.

While registration is free, you need a subscription to unlock the live and replay content. There are two main packages: HBL TV World and HBL TV Plus. HBL TV World is the more complete package, covering the 1st division, 2nd division, cup games live, and full replays.

HBL TV Plus is the budget option, with live coverage for just the 2nd Division. But you can access 1st Division highlights and replays.

HBL TV is available worldwide with some specific restrictions. For example, the service is unavailable in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, since other partners hold the exclusive rights there. (If you are in one of those three countries, see the Germany entry further down.) There is no mobile app yet but you can visit hbl-tv.com on a web browser to access the service.

Also, you can cast the live stream to a smart TV via Chromecast or AirPlay for better viewing. HBL TV is the streaming service for following the German Handball-Bundesliga from outside the DACH region.

Access:

HBL TV operates a subscription service that is unavailable in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

ESPN+

ESPN stands for Entertainment and Sports Programming Network. ESPN+ is a subscription streaming service in the United States. ESPN+ is separate from ESPN's regular cable channels.

You can live stream sports games on ESPN+, including handball, but it depends on the broadcasting rights. ESPN+ partners with the International Handball Federation (IHF) and sometimes the European Handball Federation (EHF) to showcase handball games.

Some of the available handball content includes the IHF World Championships and Junior & Youth World Championships for both men and women. On some occasions, ESPN+ will stream select EHF Champions League or European qualifiers. For United States viewers, ESPN+ is the source of handball content.

The service has a standard monthly plan or an annual plan, which is more cost-saving. But you can get it as part of the Disney Bundle with Disney+ and Hulu.

But note that ESPN+ is only available in the United States. As a result, streams are geo-blocked from outside the United States, even for subscribers.

You can stream handball games from the browser on plus.espn.com. There is also the ESPN App for iOS and Android.

Access:

ESPN+ handball streaming is limited to the US only; everywhere else is blocked. Also, the service does not cover all European club handball.

Viaplay

Viaplay is a streaming service for Nordic areas like Sweden, Norway, and Denmark although it has now expanded across Europe. It covers a variety of content but when it comes to handball, Viaplay has exclusive rights to major international competitions in many regions.

The service streams the IHF (International Handball Federation), EHF Events (European Handball Federation), and domestic league events. Viaplay is subscription-based and the pricing varies by country. But users can pay for a total or sports-only package.

Viaplay uses country-specific platforms. For example, there is Viaplay Sweden: viaplay.se, and Viaplay Norway: viaplay.no. So, content availability depends on the platform's rights in that country.

In the Nordics, Viaplay is generally where you find the EHF Champions League, the EHF European League, and the German Bundesliga. Domestic Nordic league coverage, however, mostly sits with other broadcasters — see the country-by-country section below. In Netherlands & Poland, content is mostly IHF and EHF events. In countries not covered, you generally cannot subscribe directly.

You can access the platform on a web browser via viaplay.com or the country site. It has Android and iOS apps.

Access:

Viaplay offers a comprehensive handball subscription for the EHF, IHF, and continental club competitions. However, the service is limited to specific regions. If you live outside these areas, you may need other services for handball streaming.

Handball-Globe.tv

Handball-Globe.tv is a global streaming service platform focused on handball. You can stream various handball content, such as the IHF, IHF Men's Super Globe, and international youth tournaments. You can also stream matches of a particular national team or group.

There is pay-per-view pricing for single matches. Also, you can subscribe to tournaments or your favorite teams. The prices vary by event and region.

For many events, Handball-Globe.tv is the worldwide streaming partner, except where a local partner has exclusive broadcast rights. In such a situation, the broadcaster will show the match and the match may be geo-blocked on Globe TV.

Access:

Handball-Globe.tv offers focused content with flexible pricing. Where there is no local rights conflict, it provides global access.

Where to Watch Handball Live, Country by Country

The services above are the international options. But most handball is watched at home, on a domestic rights deal, and those deals differ in every market. If you live in one of Europe's major handball nations, the platform below is almost always the one you actually need.

Germany — Dyn

Germany has Europe's most-watched handball league, and Dyn is the center of it. The streaming service shows all 306 matches of the Handball-Bundesliga season live, plus the 2nd Bundesliga, the women's Bundesliga, and the EHF Champions League for the DACH region. Dyn has extended its Bundesliga deal through 2032, so this is a stable answer rather than a one-season arrangement. It is a paid subscription and it is the reason HBL TV is blocked inside Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

There is some free-to-air handball too. ARD and the regional public broadcasters are permitted to show a limited number of Bundesliga games each season, Welt carries the Sunday 3 p.m. game free-to-air, and Dyn now runs its own free channel, Dyn Sport Mix, which airs selected live games.

France — beIN SPORTS and HandballTV

French professional men's handball lives on beIN SPORTS, which holds the Liqui Moly Starligue rights through 2031. It is a pay-TV subscription and covers the top division week in, week out.

The second option is more interesting for club-level fans. HandballTV is an OTT platform run jointly by the French Handball Federation, the women's league (LFH), and the men's league (LNH). It carries French national team matches, the Coupe de France, women's league games, and league and federation content that does not fit on beIN's schedule. If you follow French handball beyond the men's top flight, this is the one to have.

Spain — RTVE Play and Teledeporte

Spanish handball is the market in most flux right now. The Liga ASOBAL's audiovisual rights sat with LaLiga's multi-sport platform, which shut down in mid-2026, and ASOBAL has since started building its own league-run streaming service with a mix of free and paid content. Until that platform settles, the reliable free option is public broadcaster RTVE: one or two ASOBAL games per week are shown in the open on Teledeporte and on RTVE Play, at no cost.

For Spanish national team matches at the World and European Championships, RTVE is also usually the free-to-air home. If you want the full ASOBAL schedule rather than the weekly free pick, watch for the league's own platform launch.

Portugal — Andebol TV

The Portuguese Handball Federation runs its own OTT service, Andebol TV, with live and on-demand coverage of national competitions and federation events. There are apps for phones and tablets as well as browser access, which makes it the most complete single source for Portuguese handball.

On linear television, Andebol 1 matches are also shown by A Bola TV and club channels such as BTV, Porto Canal, and Sporting TV, while RTP carries Portugal's national team games at major championships on RTP1 and RTP Play.

Norway — TV 2 Play

In Norway, TV 2 Play owns the rights to every match in the REMA 1000-ligaen and the 1. divisjon, for both men and women. Selected games also air on TV 2's linear sports channels, but the full schedule is on the streaming service. Home internationals are on TV 2's channels as well, while the European and World Championships from December 2026 are split between TV 2 and Viaplay.

Norway also has a genuinely useful grassroots layer: MyGame holds the rights to Norwegian Cup matches up to the semifinals and to community-level handball run by the national federation, so a lot of junior and amateur handball is streamed there rather than on a paid national platform.

Sweden — Handbollsligan Live

Sweden's top men's and women's leagues stream on Handbollsligan Live, the league's own subscription platform. Every match of the season is there, including the playoff finals, which are not shown on ordinary television. Subscriptions are sold monthly, annually, or as day passes if you only want a single round.

For the Swedish national team, the EHF Champions League, the European League, and the German Bundesliga, Viaplay is the usual home. Below elite level, the Swedish Handball Federation streams grassroots handball through Solidsport's Handboll Play, under a long-term partnership.

Denmark — TV 2 Play

Danish handball is one of the longest-running rights relationships in European sport: TV 2 has held the domestic handball rights since 1998, and the current deal runs to the summer of 2030. TV 2 Play carries the men's Herreligaen, the women's Kvindeligaen, the 1. division, the cup competitions, Golden League tournaments, and the national teams' home matches, all on an exclusive basis.

Viaplay is the complement rather than the competitor here: it is where Danish fans find the EHF Champions League. DR also shows handball on its channels from time to time, and those games can be streamed free on DR TV.

Where to Watch Women's Handball

Women's handball is often treated as an afterthought in streaming guides, but in practice it sits on the same platforms as the men's game rather than on separate ones.

EHFTV carries the EHF Champions League, European League, and European Cup for women, on the same free account as the men's competitions. Dyn shows the German women's Bundesliga alongside the men's. TV 2 Play covers the Kvindeligaen in Denmark and the women's REMA 1000-ligaen in Norway. Handbollsligan Live streams the Swedish women's top flight in full. HandballTV carries the French LFH. Viaplay holds the women's EHF Champions League and the women's European Championship in the Nordic markets, and ESPN+ shows the IHF Women's World Championship in the United States.

In other words, if you have already picked a platform for your country from the list above, women's handball is very likely included in it.

How to Stream Your Own Club's Handball Games

Every service on this page covers professional handball. None of them will stream your daughter's under-16 league game, your club's regional cup run, or a training session you want to break down on Monday. That gap is what an AI camera is for.

With the XbotGo Falcon, you mount the camera on a tripod at the side of the court, select handball mode, and tap live. The AI follows play on its own, so nobody has to give up watching the match to hold a phone, and grandparents or relatives in another country can join through a link. Streaming is free — there is no per-match fee and no subscription for core recording, tracking, and streaming.

If your budget is tighter or you already own a recent flagship phone, the XbotGo Chameleon is the entry-level route into the same AI tracking, using your phone as the camera instead of dedicated hardware. For a fuller comparison of what to look for in a handball camera, see our guide to handball cameras, and the handball tracking mode page for how the tracking handles court sports specifically.
