Major League Handball Wiki



Major League Handball
Major League Handball (MLH) is a men's professional handball league in North America; composed of 16 teams (14 in the United States and 2 in Canada). It is widely considered to be the premier men's handball league in the world. The MLH is an active member of USA Handball (USAH) which is recognized by FIHA (also known as the International Handball Federation) as the national governing body for handball in the United States. MLH is one of the four major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada. MLH players are the world's best paid athletes by average annual salary per player.

The league was founded in New York City on February 6, 2044. The league's several international as well as individual team offices are directed out of its head offices located on the East Coast of the United States in Orlando, FL. MLH Entertainment and MLH TV studios are directed out of offices located in Secaucus, New Jersey.

Season 1 (2045)
Season 1 of MLH was won by the Baltimore Poes.

Creation (2044)
MLH was created by former members of the American Corey Ball Association (AACA) and the United States Indoor Basketball League (USIBL) in 2044. With the strong increase in popularity of handball in the United States, including a win in the 2042 Handball World Cup, AACA and USIBL members recognized an opportunity to create a professional league. They met from February 1 - February 6, 2044 (known as "Creation Week") to define the rules and allow for proposals from new teams across the United States and Canada.
