The European Aquatics Championships, which were scheduled to be held from 11 to 24 May in Budapest, have been pushed back to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the European governing body for aquatic sports said on Tuesday.

The governing body also said it had cancelled the European water polo season including the 2019-2020 Water Polo Champions Leagues, the 2019-2020 Water Polo Euro League Women and the 2019-2020 Water Polo Euro Cup. It said it planned to restart those competitions for the 2020-2021 season.
