Twenty-five of the world’s top strongmen will face off in an epic battle of strength when the SBD World’s Strongest Man comes back to Sacramento, California for the first time since 2022 from May 15-18, 2025.

Marking the event’s third edition in Sacramento and in partnership with Visit Sacramento, the 48th edition of the SBD World’s Strongest Man offers reserved seating around center stage for the four-day, action-packed competition. The quest for the title of SBD World’s Strongest Man (WSM) begins with qualifying rounds on Thursday and Friday, with final competitions on Saturday and Sunday, when a champion will be crowned.

For nearly half a century, competitors have been pushed to their physical and mental limits throughout a powerful series of events. Past events have included the Car Walk, a fan favorite event where athletes will race two-by-two, strapping a vintage VW bug to their shoulders before racing down a 25-meter course, along with the Keg Toss, Axe Hold, Atlas Stones and many more.

Athletes slated to compete include reigning WSM champion and three-time champion Tom Stoltman (GBR), Tom’s older brother and two–time European World’s Strongest Man Luke Stoltman (GBR), 2024 second and third place winners Mitchell Hooper (CAN) and former WWE wrestler Evan “T-Rex Singleton (USA), two-time Australia’s Strongest Man winner Eddie Williams (AUS), among several others.

Tickets are available for purchase online only at TheWorldsStrongestMan.com. Fans can enjoy a FREE festival area with food and retail vendors from the Sacramento area as well as activations from official World’s Strongest Man sponsors, and a dedicated viewing zone to enjoy watching the competition on a jumbotron. This exclusive experience offers the only opportunity to watch the livestream outside of the main event.
