The history of the diocese begins 1993 when the Apostolic Administration of Zakarpattia (Latin Name: Transcarpatiae Latinorum) was split off from the Diocese of Szatmár.

Mukachevo Roman Catholics are mostly members of the Hungarian minority in Ukraine. Elevated to a diocese in 2002, its first diocese was Antal Majnek until 28 January 2022.
