abstract = "We investigate the minimal theory of massive gravity (MTMG) in the
light of different observational datasets that are in tension
within the \Λ cold dark matter cosmology. In particular, we
analyze the MTMG model, for the first time, with the Planck-cosmic
microwave background (CMB) data, and how these precise
measurements affect the free parameters of the theory. The MTMG
model can affect the CMB power spectrum at large angular scales
and cause a suppression on the amplitude of the matter power
spectrum. We find that on adding Planck-CMB data, the graviton has
a small, positive, but nonzero mass at 68% confidence level, and
from this perspective, we show that the tension between redshift
space distortions measurements and Planck-CMB data in the
parametric space S8-\ωm can be resolved within the MTMG
scenario. Through a robust and accurate analysis, we find that the
H0 tension between the CMB and the local distance ladder
measurements still remains but can be reduced to
\∼3.5\σ within the MTMG theory. The MTMG is very well
consistent with the CMB observations, and undoubtedly, it can
serve as a viable candidate among other modified gravity
theories.",
