MTV Nederland en België is a Dutch speaking free-to-cable television channel broadcasting in the Netherlands and Belgium. It launched as MTV NL on 12 September 2000. Before the start of country-specific channels, the Pan-European version of MTV aired in the Netherlands.

The channel is broadcast from a Paramount Networks EMEAA office in Amsterdam, but it uses since 1 January 2022 a broadcast licence from Czech Republic in order not to have obligations under Netherlands medialaw.
