In 1964, it was discovered that the charge-parity (CP) symmetry was violated in the weak interaction of quarks, with potential implications for the evolution of the universe. Since then, particle physics experiments have searched for new sources of CP violation. The discovery of neutrino oscillations and establishment of oscillations between three neutrino flavors by experiments, including T2K, has made clear the possibility of CP violation in neutrino oscillations. T2K, operating since 2009 with significant contributions from TRIUMF, has collected data with beams of muon neutrinos and muon (anti)neutrinos with the goal of constraining the parameter that governs the presence or lack of CP asymmetry in neutrino oscillations. I will present the measurement of this parameter by the T2K experiment and discuss the prospects for stronger constraints with future data from T2K and future experiments.
