Career

Peter Balling started his senior career at Mors-Thy Håndbold, where he played for three years before moving to league rivals Skanderborg Håndbold. In 2015 he moved to TTH Holstebro. Here he won the Danish Supercup in 2018.

He played two seasons at KIF Kolding. In the 2021-22 he scored a crucial goal with 7 seconds remaining against TTH Holstebro, which prevented relegation for KIF. The following summer he then moved to Bjerringbro-Silkeborg Håndbold in 2022, citing the possibility to win medals with the club as the reason. In May 2026 he announced his intention to retire after the 2025–26 season.

He made his debut for the Danish national team in June 2015.
