Famous handball players who have played in the league include [[Jackson Richardson]], [[Talant Dujshebaev]], [[Staffan Olsson]], [[Mikhail Yakimovich]], [[Ólafur Stefánsson]], [[Oleg Kisselev]], [[Alberto Urdiales]], [[Mateo Garralda]], [[Enric Masip]], [[Iñaki Urdangarin]], [[David Barrufet]], [[Kristian Kjelling]], [[Mikkel Hansen]], [[Petar Metličić]], [[Ivano Balić]], [[Juanín García]], [[Mats Olsson (handballer)|Mats Olsson]], [[David Davis (handballer)|David Davis]], [[László Nagy (handballer)|László Nagy]], [[Raúl Entrerríos]], [[Alberto Entrerríos]], and many others.

==History==
* The "División de Honor" Handball championship was created in 1958 and was managed by the Spanish Handball Federation (FEBM) until 1990. ASOBAL (Handball Clubs Association) was formed in 1984.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://hemeroteca-paginas.elmundodeportivo.es./EMD01/HEM/1984/10/31/MD19841031-037.pdf |title=Data |date=1984 |website=hemeroteca-paginas.elmundodeportivo.es. }}</ref> In 1990, ASOBAL took control of the División de Honor and renamed it Liga ASOBAL.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://hemeroteca-paginas.elmundodeportivo.es./EMD01/HEM/1990/06/24/MD19900624-052.pdf |title=Data |date=1990 |website=hemeroteca-paginas.elmundodeportivo.es. }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://hemeroteca-paginas.elmundodeportivo.es./EMD01/HEM/1990/10/14/MD19901014-051.pdf |title=Data |date=1990 |website=hemeroteca-paginas.elmundodeportivo.es. }}</ref>
*[[FC Barcelona Handbol|FC Barcelona]] have won every championship since 2011, in part due to the disbandment of previous top clubs [[BM Ciudad Real|Ciudad Real]] and [[SDC San Antonio|Portland San Antonio]].
*The 13-time champions [[BM Granollers|Granollers]] have not won the title since the 1973–74 season.

==Championship rules==
Each team of every division has to play with all the other teams of its division twice, once at home and the other at the opponent's stadium. This means that in ''Liga ASOBAL'' the league ends after every team plays 30 matches.

Like many other leagues in continental Europe, the ''Liga ASOBAL'' takes a winter break once each team has played half its schedule. One unusual feature of the league is that the two halves of the season are played in the same order—that is, the order of each team's first-half fixtures is repeated in the second half of the season, with the only difference being the stadiums used.

Each victory adds 2 points to the team in the league ranking. Each drawn adds 1 point.head-to-head.
At the end of the league, the winner is:
#The team that has most points in the ranking.
#If two or more teams are level on points, the winner is the team that has the best results
#If there is no winner after applying the second rule, then the team with the best overall goal difference wins.
