The Higgs boson coupling to the muon is one of the last experimentally  accessible frontiers in the direct measurement of Higgs boson couplings at the LHC. This seminar will highlight the first evidence for the rareHiggs boson decay to muons achieved by exploring the full set of proton-proton collision data at 13 TeV provided by the CERN LHC duringRun2. Dedi cated analyses performed by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations observe an excess over the expected SM background consistent with the presence ofHiggs boson decay to muons. This milestone was achieved earlier than expected thanks to the excellent performance of the two detectors and the use of advanced analysis strategies that are described in the seminar.
