Nemačka je objavila spisak gradova koji će biti domaćini Svetskog prvenstva 2027 za muškarce. Za razliku od EHF EURO 2024 gde je došlo do „maksimalizacije“ prilikom izbora arena sa najvećim kapacitetom širom zemlje, za naredno Svetsko prvenstvo koje sledi posle SP 2025 u Hrvatskoj, Norveškoj i Danskoj narednog januara, izbor je pao i na tradicionalne rukometne sredine poput Magdeburga i Kila.
Pored ova dva grada, Štutgart i Minhen će gostiti prvu fazu. Glavna faza takmičenja će se održati u Kelnu i Hanoveru, a finalni deotradicionalno u „Lanxess Areni“ u Kelnu od 26. do 31. januara.
