The rules

How Survivor Works

01
  • Pick one team each round to win their match.
  • Group stage: your team must win in 90 minutes. A draw or loss eliminates you.
  • Knockouts: your team must progress — penalties and extra time count.
  • You can only use each team once across the whole tournament.
  • Miss a pick and you're out for that round.
  • Picks lock at kickoff and stay hidden from other entrants until then.
The trap

Save Your Big Teams

02

Tempting to back Brazil in matchday one. But you only get them once. The best survivor players read the schedule like a chess board — burn the small fixtures early, save the giants for when the draws start punishing favourites.

Why it hits different

Every Round Is High Stakes

03

No comebacks. No mulligans. Every pick is a knife edge. That's why survivor is the format people talk about in the group chat all week — and the one that produces the most heartbreak when a 90th-minute equaliser ends your tournament.

Frequently asked

How does survivor (last man standing) work in the World Cup?
Each round you pick one team to win. In the group stage your team must win in 90 minutes. In the knockouts they must progress — draws that go through on extra time or penalties still count. You can only use each team once across the whole tournament.
What happens if I miss a pick?
Missing a pick eliminates you for that round. Get your picks in before kickoff.
What if I run out of teams to pick?
If you've burned all your eligible teams you're eliminated — so save your big guns for the knockout rounds.
Who wins survivor?
The last entrant standing. If multiple entrants survive to the final, the winner is whoever picked the team that lifts the trophy.
