Recent measurements performed by the CMS Collaboration regarding the inclusive and differential top quark pair production are presented. The measurements are performed using the data collected during CERN LHC Run 2, at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. Measurements are compared to state-of-the-art simulations of standard model top quark production at next-to-leading order and next-to-next-leading order for different kinematic distributions related to the top quark pair system or that uses the system as a proxy for further studies.
