Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest 2025: Time, channel, prize - ESPN
Every Fourth of July, revelers look forward to barbecues, pool parties, parades, bonfires, county fairs, and fireworks. When it comes to patriotic activities, there's nothing quite as iconic as Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, which has been a staple of the holiday for over 50 years. This year is extra special as it marks fan favorite Joey Chestnut's return to the event after a 2024 ban over a sponsorship with Impossible Foods.
