YAC teams discover group opponents after M20 and M18 draws

Three competitions were drawn, ahead of men's YAC competitions taking centre stage later this year; the Men's 20 EHF EURO 2026, Men's 18 EHF EURO 2026 and Men's 18 EHF Championship I 2026.

The Men's 20 EHF Championship I and II, and the Men's 18 EHF Championship II will also be played over the summer, but all three feature six teams who will play in one preliminary round group, therefore draws were not required for these competitions.

The draws for the both the EHF EURO events saw the pot containing the respective host nations drawn last, in order to give the hosts the choice of which preliminary round group they entered.
