MTV Hits is a British pay television music channel owned by Paramount Networks UK & Australia that launched on 1 May 2001 replacing MTV Extra.

MTV Hits began broadcasting in widescreen on 28 March 2012.

In 2022, MTV Hits began heavily broadcasting 00s-themed programming, encouraging more linearity between the decade-themed MTV Channels and Christmas-themed programming throughout Christmas of each year. From 8:00pm on 31 December 2022 until 5:00am on 2 January 2023, the channel was broadcasting only 00s songs.[1][2]

On 6 July 2024, MTV Hits alongside its sister channel MTV Music stopped airing 'The Official UK Top 20/40' and 'The Official Chart Update Top 10' and instead airs 'This Week's MTV Top 10'.[3][4] Meaning no music channels air the UK top 40 anymore.

On 1 August 2024 the channel will be unified with MTV Hits International. Programming, playlist will be the same. The UK version will remain ads and teleshopping.
