Who Won the 2024 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest? Live Updates and Results on Men's, Women's
The 2024 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest will see at least one new champion crowned. If a competitor in the womens' tournament can defy steep odds, there could be two.
This year, Joey Chestnut, the winningest eater in the history of the tournament, will not compete. He was banned from the event due to his partnership with a competitor of Nathan's, Impossible Foods (which makes plant-based hot dogs).
That means the men's competition will see an eater other than Chestnut win since 2015. Matt Stonie, who won in 2015, is also not competing. He has been out of Major League Eating due to a contract dispute, as Chestnut detailed to Sports Illustrated.
Here are live updates on the two events.
