2023 Nathanâs Hot Dog Eating Contest: When it is, how to watch, live stream, records
Nothing says Fourth of July quite like the annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, which will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial).
This year, there is more of the same. Along with your fill of fireworks, contestants will be pushing the limits of their fill of the American classic ballpark food.
The annual Fourth-of-July edition will be held from the corner of Surf and Stillwell Avenues on Coney Island in Brooklyn, N.Y., where competitors will battle it out to see who can consume the most hot dogs (with buns) in a 10-minute span.
The winner gets $10,000. Joey Chestnut is back to defend his men’s title, while Miki Sudo is back on the women’s side.
Chestnut, who has won the contest 15 times, holds the world record for hot dogs eaten in the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest at 76, which he set in 2021.
