The Fermilab Muon g-2 experiment measures the muon anomalous magnetic moment with high precision. Together with recent improvements on the theory front, the first results of the experiment confirm the long-standing discrepancy between the experimental measurements and the Standard Model predictions. The observed value of aμ(\rm FNAL) = 116 592 040(54) × 10-11 ~ (0.46 ppm), combined with the previous experimental measurement, results in a discrepancy of (251 ± 59)× 10-11 with the theoretical prediction, corresponding to 4.2 ~σ. This note presents the first results, the current status and the future prospects of the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab.
