The ninth edition of the SEHA - Gazprom League is reaching its climax at Zadar, Croatia, from 4 to 6 September, with the Final 4 tournament.

After 76 matches (60 group matches and each eight play-off and quarter-final matches), the four participants of the SEHA - Gazprom League Final 4 2020 have been confirmed - and all of them have a long Final 4 experience: Meshkov Brest, PPD Zagreb, HC Vardar 1961 and Telekom Veszprem. Despite the new playing system, those clubs had already been facing at the Final 4 events in 2015, 2016, and 2017 - which means all former winners contest for the trophy at the end of a very special season.
