World’s Strongest Man 2025: Date, start time, participants, TV channel and stream for HUGE Sacramento showdown
WORLD’S Strongest Man is BACK for another year of thrilling action in California.
Three-time winner Tom Stoltman will return to defend his title, last picking up the win in 2024, after previous wins in 2021 and 2022.
Stoltman reportedly took home around $100,000 for his victory last year.
He also set a piece of history, becoming one of just seven men to win the competition more than three times.
However, he will have to see of brother Luke Stoltman alongside a whole field of competitors.
Former winners Mariusz Pudzianowski and Eddie Hall recently stepped into the MMA ring, with Hall scoring a brutal 30-second KO win.
Pudzianowski currently holds the record for the most World’s Strongest Man victories, with seven.

What is the World’s Strongest Man 2025 prize money?
The exact prize fund for this year’s competition is yet to be revealed, but reports suggest that it could be higher than the 2024 winnings.
Tom Stoltman pocketed $100,016 for lifting last year’s crown, according to reports.
But the total prize pot was reportedly a record-breaking sum of $263,200.
