The 2024 World’s Strongest Man (WSM) contest is scheduled for May 1-5, 2024, in Myrtle Beach, SC. While several athletes on the roster remain outstanding, including two replacements for the recent withdrawals of Mateusz Kieliszkowski and Martins Licis, many WSM champions and WSM podium finishers will clash on the sandy beach under a hot sun.

Mitchell Hooper will aim to defend his crown, and former two-time WSM Tom Stoltman and 2020 WSM Oleksii Novikov, among other elite contenders, will attempt to dethrone Hooper. On April 9, 2024, the 2024 WSM Events for the Qualifying Stage and Final were revealed. They are as follows:
