Based on the ranking of teams for the upcoming season, Sola HK was among the four clubs directly qualified for the group phase of the EHF European League Women 2025/26, alongside Thüringer HC (GER), Nykøbing Falster Håndbold (DEN) and CSM Corona Brasov (ROU).
EHF's decision on Tuesday 5 August announced Sola HK as the replacement for HB Ludwigsburg in group B of the EHF Champions League Women, leaving a spot open in the seeding list for the EHF European League. Consequently, adaptations in the competition’s playing system were necessary. Tertnes Bergen, a Norwegian club seeded initially in the qualification round 3, has been upgraded to the group phase.
As a result of the change, the previously drawn opponent of Tertnes Bergen in the qualification round 3, which is the winner of the qualification round 2 match between Motherson Mosonmagyaróvári KC (HUN) and O.F.N. Ionias (GRE), will directly advance to the group phase.
