12 Mar. - 14 Mar. Montenegro, France, Germany
event

The three Men's Handball Qualification Tournaments for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games were scheduled to be held from 17 to 19 April 2020 in Montenegro (Tournament 1), France (Tournament 2) and Germany (Tournament 3). Due to the situation related to COVID-19, they have been re-scheduled to take place from 12 to 14 March 2021. 

Furthermore, Norway had to be removed as host nation due to the restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The IHF Executive Committee, after having been assigned by the IHF Council to determine a new host, re-awarded the hosting rights for Tournament 1 to Montenegro.

Four teams took part in each tournament, with the two best-ranked teams in each qualifying for Tokyo 2020.
