History
MBC Iraq launched at 7:00 pm on 17 February 2019.
Shows include: Sahraya, Khas Jidden, Beit Beauty, Al Nahr Al Thalith, Wahed Zaed Wahed, Ailaty Tarbah (a spinoff from Family Feud), Ghayab Fi Bilad Al Ajayeb, KomaD, Tayba, Umm Badeela, Nasna, Hamid Helo, Dai Al Gomar and Bayn Ahelna. Other shows by other MBC channels are also shown on MBC Iraq.
On 19 October 2024, local protestors attacked MBC's offices in Baghdad after the channel aired a report labeling Palestinian militants as "terrorists." The crowd, numbering between 400 and 500, vandalized the premises, damaging equipment and igniting a fire before police intervened. An Iraqi law maker criticized the broadcast and pledged to push for the cancellation of MBC's license in Iraq.{{cite news|title=Pro-Iran protesters storm office linked to Saudi TV channel in Iraq |date=19 October 2024 |url=https://www.voanews.com/a/pro-iran-protesters-storm-office-linked-to-saudi-tv-channel-in-iraq/7828711.html |access-date=20 October 2024}}
