Arnold Sports Festival 2024 schedule: Live streams & everything to know about bodybuilding & fitness events image

The Arnold Sports Festival is here to pump — clap break — you up.

Established by Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1989, the Arnold Sports Festival will once again feature some of the biggest names in the fitness world. Several entertaining events will be held over four days in Ohio.

"I think the Arnold appeals to a wide variety of people because it features a wide variety of competitions and events — not only bodybuilding and weightlifting but events like cheerleading and dance, even foosball," events director Brent LaLonde told The Columbus Dispatch.

Here is everything you need to know about the Arnold Sports Festival, including a full schedule of events.
