Asian Mens Handball Championship

Season Description
The 2026 Asian Men's Handball Championship was the 22nd edition of the Asian Men's Handball Championship, the biennial international men's handball championship of Asia and Oceania organized by AHF. The tournament was held from 15 to 29 January 2026 in Sabah Al-Salem, Kuwait.

It was the fourth time in history that the championship was organised by the Kuwait Handball Association.

It also acted as a qualification tournament for the 2027 World Men's Handball Championship in Germany, with top four teams from the championship directly qualifying for the event. If Australia would have finished inside the top five, they would have qualified as well, as the representative of Oceania.

Qatar are the six time defending champions, recently beating Japan 30–24 in the 2024 final in Isa Town. Bahrain won their first title with a win over Qatar in the final.
