We study the phenomenology of the charged Higgs boson at future muon colliders. We investigate both the pair production μ+ μ- → H+ H-, the single production μ+ μ- → W^± H^∓, as well as the Vector Boson Fusion (VBF) \e+e-, μ+ μ-\ → νν H+ H-. We show that the neutral Higgs exchange diagrams in the muon collider case can lead to a significant boost in the cross sections through their Yukawa couplings. Our results for the muon collider are systematically compared to the corresponding ones at e+e- machines. It is demonstrated that the vector boson fusion (VBF) e+e- → νν H+ H- can compete with the mentioned 2→ 2 processes. We select benchmark points and perform signal-background analyses, taking into account detector simulations. We demonstrate the discovery region at 5σ and the excluded region at 2σ levels at a 3 TeV muon collider.
