How To Play

Step 1 — Make Your First Pick

NFL Survivor Fan Site is back for the 2026 season — a free entertainment pool for friends and fans.

Your mission:pick one NFL team each week to win their game. A win or a tie adds to that entry's score. Two losses and the entry is out. The pool starts in Week 5. Weeks 1 through 4 are not played and do not use up a team.

A week is the ESPN/NFL slate: Thursday through Monday (Monday Night Football still counts as that same week). Lots of teams win on a given week — survivor is not picking every winner. Each entry chooses exactly one team. Want more than one shot that week? Create more entries (up to 25), each with its own pick.

You can only choose each team once per entry, so choose wisely.

Step 2 — Play with Friends

Everything's better with a squad. Head to the Groups tab to create or join a group.

• Make it private with a password
• Or go public and let anyone on NFL Survivor Fan Site join

Once you're in, hit Invite Friends to share a link in just a few taps.

Step 3 — Return Each Week

Survive as long as you can. Change a week’s pick until the first game of that week starts, and choose teams for later weeks whenever you want. The whole week locks when its first game starts.
