The ghost free massive gravity modified Friedmann equations at cosmic scale and provided an explanation of cosmic acceleration without dark energy. We analyzed the cosmological solutions of the massive gravity in detail and confronted the cosmological model with current observational data. We found that the model parameters $\alpha_3$ and $\alpha_4$ which are the coefficients of the third and fourth order nonlinear interactions cannot be constrained by current data at the background level. The mass of graviton is found to be the order of current Hubble constant if $\alpha_3=\alpha_4=0$, and the mass of graviton can be as small as possible in the most general case.
