The diffuse meta-galactic radiation field at ultraviolet to infraredwavelengths - commonly labeled extragalactic background light (EBL) - containsthe integrated emission history of the universe. Difficult to access via directobservations, indirect constraints on its density can be derived throughobservations of very-high energy (VHE; E>100 GeV) gamma-rays from distantsources: the VHE photons are attenuated via pair-production with the low energyphotons from the EBL, leaving a distinct imprint in the VHE spectra measured onearth. Discoveries made with current-generation VHE observatories likeH.E.S.S., MAGIC and VERITAS enabled strong constraints on the density of theEBL, especially in the near-infrared. Here, the constrains on the EBL densityfrom such ground based VHE observations will be briefly reviewed and thepotential of the next-generation instruments to improve on these limits will bediscussed.
