Fanatics NFL Survivor Pool
The 2025 NFL season is around the corner, and Fanatics is offering users in all 50 states plus Washington, D.C., a chance to enter its NFL Survivor Pool. Entry is completely free and only requires a Fanatics account and the Fanatics App.
For this survivor pool, you have one shot every week to pick a winning team. If you're correct, you survive. If you're pick falls flat, you're eliminated from the contest. You can only pick a team to win once per season.
The prize pool is over $1 million dollars, and could reach up to $10 million depending on the number of participants. If you are the sole winner, you keep the entire pool! Multiple winners will split the pool evenly.
Here's how you play:
How to play in the Fanatics Sportsbook NFL Survivor Pool
Download the Fanatics app and create a Fanatics account if you don't already have one. If you use Fanatics Sportsbook or Fanatics Casino, you can link that account to make this step quicker.
Before the final game of each NFL regular season week kicks off, choose a team to win in that week. However, you can only pick a team to win once per season.
If the team you selected begins playing their game, your pick for the week is locked. When they win, you survive and repeat this step for the next week. If your chosen team loses the week that you select them, you are eliminated from the contest.
Make it all the way to the end of the season without missing a pick, and the prize is yours!
