The Handball Korea League is a handball league in South Korea. The league has been sponsored by the SK Group since 2011 and is therefore called the SK Handball Korea League.

The league finals are hosted at the SK Olympic Handball Gymnasium within the Olympic Park in Seoul. In 2011, the former Olympic Fencing Gymnasium was remodelled for handball games at a cost of ₩43.4 billion, specialized with handball only courts.[1]

Initially a semi-professional league, it became fully professional in the 2023–24 season.[2]
