A transmission for a motor vehicle includes a housing and a gear set. An oil drainage channel is formed by the housing and/or by an element connected to the housing and is arranged spatially underneath the gear set. The oil drainage channel includes at least one gear set-side inlet port, a closed underside, and an oil sump-side outlet port at one end of the oil drainage channel, which are designed and arranged in such that oil from the gear set enters the oil drainage channel through the at least one inlet port and is guided along the closed underside to the outlet port. A suction port of a hydraulic unit of the transmission is arranged in the oil sump spatially underneath the closed underside of the oil drainage channel and axially offset with respect to the outlet port.
