This article describes the qualification for the 2024 European Women's Handball Championship and Women's EHF Euro Cup.

Qualification system

31 teams registered for participation and compete for 20 places at the final tournament. Great Britain withdraw late which would have been the 32nd team. The teams will be drawn into seven groups of four and one group with three teams. It was later confirmed that Great Britain withdrew because no round 1 was played as planned. Thus, Great Britain, couldn't afford to participate in the home and away round 2.[1] The top-two placed teams in each group qualify for the final tournament. The four best-ranked third-placed teams will also qualify, not counting the matches against fourth-placed teams.

Draw

The draw took place on 20 April 2023.[2][3]

Seeding

The seeding was announced on 14 April 2023.[2]
