MTV 80s is a channel featuring music videos from the 1980s.

From February 28 to March 31, 2020, MTV 80s was broadcast for one month as a themed alternative to its host channel, MTV Classic UK, but was not planned as a full-time replacement.

From June 31, 2020, until October 5, 2020, VH1 Classic Europe broadcast a block of MTV 80s programming from midnight until midday as a test bed for what would eventually become the permanent replacement to VH1 Classic Europe.

On October 5, 2020, from 05:00 CET onwards, MTV 80s started broadcasting full-time, replacing VH1 Classic in Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean.

As part of restructuring at Paramount Global UK & Australia, MTV 80s replaced MTV Classic in the UK from 6am on March 31, 2022.
