The 2025 World’s Strongest Man competition is right around the corner and different information surrounding the event is being shared. On Tuesday morning, the five qualifying events for the competition were shared. Now, there is an official lineup for all events over the course of the weekend.
The 2025 WSM is scheduled to take place from May 15-18. It will take place in Sacramento for the first time since 2022. The event moved to Myrtle Beach in 2023-24 but will move back West in the coming year. With the event moving back to California in May, there will be ideal conditions for both athletes competing and fans that make the trip to watch the event live.
A group of 30 of the strongest men in the world will compete to see who will hoist this year’s prize. The qualifying portion of the show will be the first to see who will move onto the finals. The qualifying round will take place on the first two days of the event (May 15-16).
