A second-phase match that opens a new twist

The 2026 European Handball Championship is entering the part of the competition where every ball is felt twice, and that exact setting frames the clash listed as TBD vs TBD in Group I, Round 0 of the 2026 season. Although the participants are still unknown at this moment, the time and venue are fixed, and that is enough for public interest and ticket sales to start rising days in advance, especially because it is played in an arena accustomed to big nights. Matches like these in the second phase usually bring the feeling that the tournament is only now truly lighting up, because there is no more room for calculations and every national team arrives with a clear plan to preserve points, goal difference, and momentum. For a fan, that means buying tickets is not tied to one name on the scoreboard, but to the experience of a major competition in which, on the same day, you can feel the rhythm of multiple matches and multiple styles of handball. Tickets for a program like this can sell out as soon as the final pairings are set, so it pays to react earlier and follow when the next wave of available seats opens. Secure your tickets now, buy tickets via the button below and save your seat in Jyske Bank Boxen while the options are still wide.

How you get to a match labeled TBD vs TBD

The TBD vs TBD label is not a marketing trick but the logic of the tournament format, because the opponents in Group I are formed only after the initial phase in the groups that feed the main round is completed. In Herning, the initial phase features two groups, A and B, with the national teams Germany, Spain, Serbia and Austria in one, and Denmark, Portugal, Romania and North Macedonia in the other, and their positions in the table determine who carries points forward and what schedule they will get next. Group I then also includes the two best national teams from Group C that was played elsewhere, and in that group are Norway, France, Ukraine and Czech Republic, so the circle of possible participants for your match expands to elite names in European handball. That is why buying tickets early is often a rational decision, because the fan is not buying just one match but entry into a phase of the competition where different schools of play collide, from physical defense to fast transitions. In practice, that means only after the final rounds of the first phase will it be known exactly who enters Group I, who carries points, and who in the first round of the main round will get the chance to make a big leap. Precisely because of that uncertainty, demand for tickets can jump sharply in the short window when the names are confirmed, so it is smart to secure tickets in time and avoid the stress of last minutes.

Group I and what the standings mean before the main part

Group I in the second phase typically brings together six national teams, and it is composed of the top two from each of three initial groups that are linked into the same main stream of the competition. The key thing for fans, but also for match analysis, is that points from head-to-head games between national teams coming from the same initial group are usually carried over, which immediately changes the psychology of the first round of the main round. That is why in the TBD vs TBD match it can happen that one team already has a points advantage from an earlier phase, while the other has to attack from the first minute, even though it is only the beginning of a new table. That context is the reason why the atmosphere in the arena is different than in the first days, because the crowd knows that every period of play is an investment in the semifinals, not just in the win of the day. For ticket buyers, it is also a practical explanation for why seats are more sought-after in the main round, because the most prepared lineups are seen on the court more often, and coaches rotate less without need. If you like matches where tactical changes happen on the spot, with quick reactions to seven-meter throws, suspensions and defensive switches, then tickets for this match are an investment in the highest-quality part of the tournament. In Herning, where the mass of fans is felt and where, at major competitions, the arena fills from multiple countries, that impression comes even stronger, so ticket sales follow the rhythm of the table and announcements of possible clashes.

Early results and first signals of form

The tournament opened with matches that immediately offered clear directions, because already in the first round some national teams showed that they came ready to play under pressure. Spain in Herning defeated Serbia 29 27 in a match that had two different pictures, with a very efficient attack in the first half and a firmer, controlling rhythm afterwards, which is the typical signature of a team that knows how to win even when the game gets complicated. Germany in the same city beat Austria 30 27 and thus opened Group A with points that can become decisive if the fight for the top two places starts rolling. In Group C, big gaps already appeared, because France opened with 42 28 against Czechia, while Norway won 39 22 against Ukraine, so it is already visible that this very line of favorites could influence who in Group I gets the toughest opponents at the start. In Group B today the first duels are only starting, Portugal against Romania and Denmark against North Macedonia, so it remains to be seen whether a tempo will immediately stand out that will control the carryover of points into the next phase. For fans buying tickets, that means uncertainty is still alive, but possible profiles of teams that could reach your match are already emerging, from fast transition to systematic play against a set defense. That is exactly why tickets for the main part of the competition carry extra weight, because they often offer clashes of teams that have already proven their form at the beginning, and not only searched for it through routine.

Why Herning has become the central place of the tournament

Herning in this championship is more than a point on the map, because the city lives from major events and is used to crowds flowing in from various countries and cultures, which is ideal for a handball spectacle. In the same complex, arenas and fair spaces operate that have for years built the city’s reputation as a place you come to for sport, concerts and major manifestations, so the logistics around arrival, parking and entering the arena usually work like a well-rehearsed machine. For fans from Croatia, but also from the wider region, Herning is interesting because it offers a combination of a compact city and large infrastructure, so match day can be planned without the feeling that you are lost in a metropolis. The atmosphere at major tournaments here gains a special dimension, because alongside the home crowd, various fan songs are often heard in the arena, and neutral spectators choose the match by quality, not just by the flag. In such an environment, ticket sales generally rise as the main part of the competition approaches, because more and more travelers combine the match with a short city break, which also pulls earlier accommodation planning. That is why tickets for this event fit into a broader travel plan as well, whether you are coming only for one match or building a weekend around handball and the atmosphere around the arena.

Jyske Bank Boxen from a fan’s perspective

Jyske Bank Boxen, at Kaj Zartows Vej 7 in Herning, is one of the arenas that, at major competitions, looks as if it was built exactly for evenings like these, because the capacity and the layout of the stands create a strong contact between the crowd and the court. In a handball setup, the arena is listed with a capacity of around 15 000 spectators, which is a figure that immediately explains why tickets can sell out in waves, especially when attractive national teams come onto the court and when the phase being played decides the semifinals. For a visitor it is also important that the arena is part of a broader event complex, so arrivals and departures are organized through large approach zones, and outside the arena a real fan promenade can develop, with gathering before and after the match. In such conditions, every defense, every block and every wing goal sounds louder, and that is exactly why tickets are bought, because television can rarely convey the energy when the arena rises for a series of saves or when a comeback from a deficit is being chased. Tickets for this match disappear quickly, so buy tickets in time and plan to arrive earlier to avoid crowds at the entrances and to get to feel the atmosphere before the first referee’s whistle. If your goal is a pure sporting experience, Jyske Bank Boxen is the type of arena where the money invested in buying tickets pays back through tempo, noise and the feeling that you are in the heart of the competition.

The tactical picture potential participants can bring

When the participants are still TBD, the analysis cannot be reduced to one matchup, but it can recognize what the group of possible national teams could bring tactically. From Groups A and B come teams that already from the start carry the reputation of clear systems, from strong defensive blocks and line play to quick breakouts into the fast break, and such a mix is an ideal recipe for a match in which the rhythm can change from a five-minute plan into a five-minute response. If the combination brings national teams that like playing seven-on-six or long attacks until passive play, the audience gets a chess match in which every suspension and every seven-meter throw is a small trigger for a turnaround. On the other hand, national teams that build their game on fast transitions and aggressive pressing can force the opponent into technical mistakes, so the match becomes a series of short bursts and quick goals, which is especially attractive to watch live. In the main round, goalkeeper work is usually more visible as well, because opponents arrive prepared, scouted and ready for tactical variants, so one five-minute period without conceding can change the entire match plan. That is why tickets for this phase carry extra weight for those who love details, because from close up you can clearly see defensive communication, rotations and formation changes. Nor should the psychological component be forgotten, because teams often arrive with carried-over points or with the pressure that they must chase them, so coaches’ decisions on risk and rotation are felt in every substitution.

Historical frames and rivalries regardless of the opponents

European handball championships traditionally create rivalries that do not depend on just one cycle, but on generations, styles and the way national teams adapt to the modern rhythm of the game. Because of that, the match labeled TBD vs TBD is interesting already now, because it is realistic that teams will enter it that have experience of high stakes, whether through previous medals or through big turnarounds in knockout phases. Herning as host of such competitions further strengthens the sense of continuity, because the arena and the city have the memory of great handball nights, and the crowd reacts to situations it recognizes, such as a series of saves, fast counterattacks or tactical timeouts at the right moment. In such an environment even neutral spectators quickly become loud, because the dynamics of the match are felt like a wave, and every lead change acts as a signal that it is time for even louder support. That is also why ticket sales do not rely only on the home crowd, but also on travelers who want to see handball at the highest level, regardless of which two names will stand on the scoreboard. If you have followed major tournaments before, you know that precisely in phases like these matches happen that are later retold, because one ball or one defense in the last minute becomes the symbol of the entire tournament. Buying tickets for this event is therefore also buying the possibility to be part of a story that is written live, before your eyes, in an arena that knows what a full capacity sounds like.

Practical information for arrival, entry and staying

For visitors planning a trip, the most important fact is that Jyske Bank Boxen is located within a large event area, with clear road approaches and large parking capacities, which reduces stress about arriving on time. According to visitor information, the complex is connected to motorway routes and exits 41 or 42 are recommended when arriving from the motorway direction, and on site more than 10 000 parking spaces are stated, which is a big advantage when a more massive arrival of the crowd is expected. For those arriving by train, there is also the MCH Messecenter Herning Station, from where you continue along a pedestrian path towards the arena, so a combination of public transport and walking is a realistic option to avoid crowds. At major events, additional bus lines towards the complex are usually organized as well, so it is worth coming earlier and counting on control points and lines forming in front of the entrances, especially when ticket sales were strong and when the arena fills to a high percentage. In practice, that means a travel plan should be aligned with time for security checks and finding your seat, because the arena experience begins even before the first attack, at the moment when the crowd is already building the noise. If your goal is comfort, buying tickets in time and arriving earlier gives you space to enter calmly, orient yourself and catch the atmosphere without rushing, which at major tournaments is often the difference between stress and enjoyment.

How to plan match day and ticket purchase

The special feature of the date January 22 in Herning is that it is a main-round day in which, according to the basic schedule, a program of three matches is anticipated, and the basic times for that day are standardly set at 15:30, 18:00 and 20:30, which creates the impression of a sporting marathon for the audience. That is exactly why tickets for that date are experienced as entry into a whole handball day, with multiple chances to feel the styles of different national teams and for the arena to gradually fill and warm up into the late evening. Once the TBD vs TBD participants are confirmed, demand for tickets most often jumps because fan groups and travelers then lock in their plans, and that is also seen in the dynamics of ticket sales which in a short time can empty the best sectors. If you are coming from Croatia, an additional motive is also the fact that Croatia is at the championship in Group E, so part of the audience will follow the tournament more broadly than just one match and choose days on which they can combine more handball. Buy tickets via the button below and secure your option while you can still choose seats, because later buying tickets often becomes a hunt for what is left, not what you want. When planning the day, also count on a large number of people gathering around the arena before the first time slot, so arriving earlier makes everything easier, from parking to entry, and also gives you time to absorb the fan atmosphere which in Herning can build for hours. Finally, it is worth keeping in mind that the match schedule within the day can be adjusted to organizational needs, so it is best to follow announcements and in time check which exact pairing is in the 15:30 slot when the final participants are published.

What can decide the clash and why it pays to be in the arena

In the main round, such matches are often decided by details that are clearer from the stands than on the screen, such as small shifts of the defensive block, communication between the goalkeeper and the second defender, or the moment when the coach recognizes a weakness and changes the attacking combination. If one team enters with the pressure that it must win because of points it did not carry over, the match can start at a high tempo, while the opponent may seek control, slowing down and patience, which creates an interesting clash of philosophies. In such matches, decisive can be series of three to four defenses in a row, because the crowd then carries the team, and each next attack gets additional energy, which is exactly why tickets are bought and why seats are sought after even when the names are not yet confirmed. Also, in a phase where everyone knows each other and where analyses are detailed, suspensions and seven-meter throws become key triggers, so momentum can turn in one minute, and the arena reacts as one voice. Secure your tickets now and click the

button when you want to complete the ticket purchase without delay, because such a clash is not just another match, but a piece of the tournament in which the table is written and doors towards the finale are opened. When teams from Groups A, B and C that have already shown form appear on the court, you get handball with high stakes, and that is an experience remembered most precisely live, in the full Jyske Bank Boxen arena.
