The prospects of searches for anomalous production of hadronically decaying weak boson pairs at proposed high-energy muon colliders are reported. Muon-muon collision events are simulated at $$\sqrt{s}$$ = 6, 10, and 30 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4, 10, and 10 ab^-1, respectively. Simulated μμ → WW + vv/μμ events are used to set expected constraints on the structure of quartic vector boson interactions in the framework of a dimension-8 effective field theory. Similarly, μμ → WW/ZZ + vv events are used to report constraints on the product of the cross section and branching fraction for vector boson fusion production of a heavy neutral Higgs boson decaying to weak boson pairs. These results are interpreted in the context of the Georgi-Machacek model.
