It would take Glyn Stott, 34, from Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales, six days without sleep, reports the Daily Telegraph.
He said: "I'm a huge fan of the show and I've seen every episode but watching them continuously for almost a week will be a feat of endurance.
"The judges have to make sure my eyes are firmly fixed on the screen - I have to be seen to be concentrating all the way through."
The current record for non-stop television watching is four days, set by an American viewer.
Mr Stott, a shop manager, will get a 20-minute break at the end of every three episodes and he must stick to the strict rules laid down by Guinness.
He said: "If I have a meal during the world record attempt I'm not allowed to look down at the plate - my eyes must be on the TV all the time.
"I will be allowed to use an exercise bike to keep my circulation going but even then I can't avert my eyes from the Simpsons.
"I will be watching 20 years of TV compressed into six-and-a-half days - it will be amazing to see how the show has changed over the years."
A spokesman for Fox said: "Nearly a week without sleep watching TV - Homer would be proud of him."
