Division De Honor Plata

División de Honor Plata is Spain’s second tier of men’s handball, sitting just below Liga ASOBAL. It features a multi-regional, promotion-focused format where professional and semi-professional clubs from different regions compete for a place in the top flight. The regular season runs from autumn through spring, with a comprehensive schedule of league matches across venues nationwide, followed by a celebratory promotion playoff phase that determines which teams ascend to Liga ASOBAL for the next season. The league is split into regional groups (often two groups) to minimize travel while maximizing local rivalry, before the best teams meet in the final rounds. The competition is known for its high intensity, close games, and a strong fan culture across cities and communities, with clubs relying on a mix of professional players, rising talents, and experienced amateurs. Notable clubs have used DH Plata as a springboard to higher levels, and the league has a history of graduating teams to the top tier and producing players who later shine on national or international stages. Fans follow Division de Honor Plata for competitive handball, regional pride, and the thrill of promotion races throughout the season.
