Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest 2020 Live Stream: Time, Channel, How To Watch Live

Eating one hot dog at a July 4th BBQ? Understandable. Two? Sure, why not? But 70 hot dogs?! Now you’ve gone too far!

Later today, Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog-Eating Contest will air on ESPN. This afternoon’s event marks the 17th consecutive year the Worldwide Leader in Sports has televised the competition. The contest will still take place in Coney Island, but it’ll emanate from a private location with COVID-19 safety measures in place. Both Joey Chestnut and Miki Sudo will be on hand at this year’s event as they attempt to add to their already impressive resumes.
