The 2024 Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest returns to the iconic corner of Surf and Stillwell Avenues on Coney Island again this Fourth of July, airing on ESPN Networks. ESPN has exclusive live broadcast rights from 10:45 a.m. ET to the conclusion of the event, and marks the 21st consecutive year ESPN has televised the competition.

As for the eaters, Top-ranked Female Miki Sudo looks to defend her Mustard Belt during the 10-minute, all-you-can-eat contest, while on the men's side, a new champion will be crowned for the first time since the World's No. 1 Eater Joey Chestnut regained the Mustard Belt from Matt Stonie in 2016.

Top male and female international eaters from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan, Nigeria, South Korea, and more will compete in the contest. Other notable eaters for the competitions include: Geoffrey Esper, Mayoi "Ebimayo" Ebihara, Nick Wehry, Michelle Lesco, James Webb and Patrick Bertoletti, among others.

The men's world record is 76 hot dogs and buns, set by Chestnut in 2021, while on the women's side, Sudo holds the record with a 48 ½ hot dogs and buns performance in 2020.

"The Nathan's Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest is arguably the most iconic sporting event in American history," said Major League Eating Chair George Shea. "Eaters from across the globe come to Coney Island to honor this celebration of freedom."

Nathan's Famous will also make its annual donation of 100,000 Nathan's Famous hot dogs to the Food Bank for New York City prior to the event.
