How You Can Watch The 2022 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest
By KIMBERLEY LAWS
One of the best-known eating competitions is Nathan's Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest, traditionally held at Nathan's restaurant, Coney Island, and visited by around 35,000 people. However, not everyone can visit Brooklyn to witness this event live, so how can you watch it from home?
Thankfully, this Independence Day contest will be aired on ESPN at noon ET and 9 a.m. PT. This year's duels promise to be humdingers, with World Champ, Joey Chestnut, defending his win from last year — where he devoured 76 hot dogs and buns — on the men’s side, as well as a possible upset in the female race.

This year's duel promises to be a humdinger with World Champ, Joey Chestnut, feasting his way to a fresh World Record of 76 wieners and buns to win Nathan's 2021 hot dog eating contest and a possible upset in the female race.
Miki Sudo, the highest-ranked female competitor, returns this year after taking 2021 off, and she will challenge last year’s winner, Michelle Lescoe. There is $40,000 worth of prizes up for grabs, with the first place male and female finishers receiving the coveted Mustard Belt.
