Abstract: We calculate the complete-NLO predictions for t¯ tW ± and t¯ tt¯ t production in proton–proton collisions at 13 and 100 TeV. All the non-vanishing contributions of O(αi
sαj)
with i+j = 3, 4 for t¯ tW ± and i+j = 4, 5 for t¯ tt¯ t are evaluated without any approximation. For t¯ tW ± we find that, due to the presence of tW → tW scattering, at 13(100) TeV the O(αsα3) contribution is about 12(70)% of the LO, i.e., it is larger than the so-called NLO EW corrections (the O(α2
sα2) terms) and has opposite sign. In the case of t¯
tt¯ t production, large contributions from electroweak scattering are already present at LO in the
O(αsα3) > O(α2
sα2)
