Recent results on W and Z physics from LHC experiments are presented. Measurements reviewed include total W and Z cross sections, W lepton charge asymmetry, and Z differential cross sections. Production of Z bosons is studied as a function of rapidity, transverse momentum and angular variables. The Drell-Yan differential distribution with the dilepton mass and the double differential distribution with the dilepton mass and rapidity are shown. Finally, measurements of several electroweak observables, the forward-backward Drell-Yan asymmetry and the sin θW are also presented. The measurements are compared with theoretical predictions using the most accurate theoretical predictions and modern part on distribution functions. A general agreement is observed.
