On 26 May 2021, MTV 90s was launched in the Netherlands, replacing MTV Music 24.[4] The channel ceased distribution in the Netherlands on 1 January 2025.[5]

As part of restructuring at Paramount Global UK & Australia, MTV Base was replaced by MTV 90s in the United Kingdom and Ireland from 31 March 2022,[6] and replaced MTV Asia on 1 September 2022.[7]

On 31 December 2025, MTV 90s along with MTV’s other international music channels will close globally due to the company's restructuring policy.[9][10]
