It is organised by the American event management company IMG, a subsidiary of TKO Group Holdings, and is broadcast in the United States during summer and in the United Kingdom around the end of December. Competitors qualify by placing in the top three at one of the four to eight Giants Live events held each year. The contest has been won by 25 men representing 14 nationalities, and three past champions, Bill Kazmaier, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson and Brian Shaw, have been inducted into the International Sports Hall of Fame. The current event sponsor is SBD Apparel.
