About Survivor Tribes

What is this?

Survivor Tribes is a fan-made fantasy league companion for Survivor 51: The Open Era — 21 first-time players, no returnees and no former winners, filmed in Mamanuca Islands, Fiji. Nobody has a résumé. Nobody has an old alliance to fall back on. Which means nobody — including you — knows who is good at this yet.

Draft your castaways, watch the points land every week, and find out whether you read this cast better than your friends did.

Season 50 is still here too. The complete all-returnee archive — recaps, rankings, eliminations and the final scoreboard — lives on at Season 50.

What you can do here

  • Run a league. Snake draft with a pick clock, trades, a bench, and a scoring ledger that shows where every point came from. Creating a league needs a League Pass — $7 once, ever. Joining a league and playing are free.
  • Or skip the league entirely. Solo Tribe lets you pick five castaways and a Sole Survivor, then climb a public leaderboard. No account, no commissioner, no group chat required.
  • Just read. Cast profiles, weekly recaps, the elimination timeline, prediction polls, trivia and a news feed — all free, all without signing in.
