The MTV Europe Music Award for Best Group is one of the original general awards that has been handed at the MTV Europe Music Awards. It was awarded every year from 1994 to 2009 and from 2018 to 2021. The award was revived once again in 2023, but ultimately it was one of the three categories for which no winner was announced, along with the awards for the Biggest Fans and Best Israeli Act.
The Spice Girls, the Backstreet Boys and Linkin Park have all won the award twice. The world-famous South Korean group BTS won the award four times in a row, winning in every year they were nominated.
U2 is the group that was nominated more times, having been nominated five times between 1995 and 2005.
