NFL Survivor League

The simplest pool in football. Each week you pick one NFL team to win its game outright, no point spread. Get it right and you advance. Get it wrong and you are out. You can never pick the same team twice, so the easy picks run out just as the season gets hard.

Opening for the 2026 season. One account plays every pool.

How NFL Survivor League works

01

Start a league and invite your friends

Pick a start week and share the invite link. Everyone joins with a free Sportspickr account, the same one that plays every other pool on the site.

02

Pick one team each week

Choose a team to win its game straight up. The pick locks at that game's kickoff, so a Thursday pick locks Thursday and a Sunday pick locks Sunday.

03

Survive or go out

A win keeps you alive for next week. A loss, a tie or a missed pick eliminates you. Every team you have used is crossed off your list for the rest of the season.

04

Last one standing

The pool ends when one member is left, or at the end of the regular season. If everyone still alive goes out in the same week, the commissioner's tiebreak setting decides whether they share the win or all advance.

The rules

The format as planned. Details may change before the pool opens.

  1. One pick per week: a single NFL team to win its game outright.
  2. A team can be picked once per season by each member.
  3. Picks lock at the kickoff of the chosen game.
  4. A loss eliminates the member. Ties and missed picks count as losses unless the commissioner sets otherwise.
  5. The pool ends when one member remains or the regular season ends, whichever comes first.
  6. If all remaining members are eliminated in the same week, they either share the win or all advance, per the commissioner's setting.
  7. The commissioner can allow a set number of strikes (lives) per member instead of single elimination.

Questions

When does Survivor open?

For the 2026 NFL season. It is not available yet; the Fantasy Sportsbook pool is live today and the same account will play both.

Is it free?

Yes. Like every Sportspickr pool, Survivor is free to play with points and pride on the line, never money.

Can I change my pick?

Until the chosen game kicks off, yes. After kickoff the pick is final.

What happens if my team ties?

By default a tie eliminates you, the same as a loss. The commissioner can set ties to count as survival for the pool.

Can we play with more than one life?

That is planned as a commissioner setting: single elimination by default, or a set number of strikes before a member is out.
