MTV Global (formerly MTV Europe) is the international version of the American TV channel MTV as 24-hour music video and entertainment pay television network officially launched on 1 August 1987 as part of the worldwide MTV network.
Over the years, MTV Global has been divided into several different channels for certain countries. Most countries in Europe, Asia, Oceania, Latin America and the Caribbean now have their own versions of the channel, and therefore MTV Global is now mostly available in those countries where there is no localised version of MTV.
Initially, the channel were included music channels (MTV 80s, MTV 90s, MTV 00s, MTV Live, Club MTV and MTV Hits), but on 31 December 2025 when those channels ceased broadcasting. In 2026, MTV Global began directing content focused exclusively on entertainment and reality shows.
Initially, MTV served all regions of Europe, being one of the few TV channels focused on the entire European market. At the moment, MTV serves a number of European countries along Asian, Oceanian, Middle Eastern, and Caribbean territories.
