The measurement of the W boson mass represents a very important test for the internal consistency of the standard model of particle physics, and could also possibly highlight signals of New Physics. We provide a concise theory overview on the topic, presenting the typical measuring strategies, the known perturbative and non-perturbative theoretical ingredients used to predict the relevant observables, the treatment of theoretical systematics in recent experimental measurements and some future prospects to reduce modelling uncertainties.

Abstract
The measurement of the W boson mass represents a very important test for the internal consistency of the standard model of particle physics, and could also possibly highlight signals of New Physics. We provide a concise theory overview on the topic, presenting the typical measuring strategies, the known perturbative and non-perturbative theoretical ingredients used to predict the relevant observables, the treatment of theoretical systematics in recent experimental measurements and some future prospects to reduce modelling uncertainties.
