Here we explain how to watch Nathan's 4th July Hot Dog Eating Contest 2025 online from anywhere with a VPN.
Nathan's 4th July Hot Dog Eating Contest 2025: date and streaming options
The Nathan's 4th July Hot Dog Eating Contest 2025 live stream takes place on Friday, July 4.

A record 16-time winner of the famous hot dog eating competition, Joey Chestnut was banned from last year's event after signing a sponsorship deal with a vegetarian food manufacturer. Now he's back and looking to reclaim the Mustard Yellow Belt he first won way back in 2007. ESPN3 will have an iso camera of Chestnut at 12:30 p.m. ET on Friday.
Before he and his fellow male competitors get the chance to stuff their faces, it's the women's turn. Other than in 2021 when she was pregnant, Miki Sudo has an unbroken run of 10 wins since 2014. And she just keeps improving — she set a new world record of 51 dogs in 10 minutes at last year's event. ESPN3 will have an iso camera of Sido at 11 a.m. ET on Friday.
Can Chestnut top the 76 dogs he managed to munch in 2021? Find out with our guide on how to watch Nathan's 4th July Hot Dog Eating Contest 2025 online and no matter where in the world you are this Independence Day.
