Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest 2021 Live Stream: Where To Watch Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest Live

Grab some ketchup, mustard, and perhaps a little bit of sauerkraut because there’s nothing fans of competitive eating relish more than Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog-Eating Contest!

Last year, Joey Chestnut set a new world record when he wolfed down 75 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes, which bested my previous record of four hot dogs in about 20 minutes. Respect, Joey. Respect. Darron Breeden finished behind Chestnut in second place, with Nick Wehry, George Chiger, and Eric ‘Badlands’ Booker rounding out the top five. If you want to revisit ESPN’s Joey Chestnut and Takeru Kobayashi 30 for 30, the film is currently available to stream on ESPN+.
