In European handball, the EHF coefficient rank is a ranking of national leagues produced by the European Handball Federation, used to assign clubs into European competitions. The ranking is determined by the club results over the previous three seasons in the EHF Champions League (CL), EHF European League (EL), EHF European Cup (EC), and historically the (now-defunct) EHF Cup Winners' Cup (CWC). Each competition coefficient is calculated independently, and has no impact on team seeding, which is determined separetely. The separation of competition rankings was first announced in September 2022 as a way to more fairly reflect federation performance, having previously combined all competition coefficients together.
