Diphoton production via vector boson scattering at the LHC is sensitive to electroweak quartic gauge boson couplings. In this talk we discuss the effects of next-to-leading order QCD corrections to this process in the Standard Model. The QCD-induced background process will also be considered. Finally, we include the effects of anomalous gauge couplings coming from dimension-8 operators using an effective-field theory approach.
