It's time to find out where to watch Survivor 49, because the world's most iconic social experiment is back to dominate your Wednesdays. The new season premieres Wednesday, Sept. 24 at 8/7c on CBS, with Jeff Probst back in the driver's seat and 18 fresh castaways ready to fight for glory. And if you're keeping score, Kyle Fraser walked away with the win on Survivor 48 after a nail-biting fire-making challenge at final four. Now, Survivor 49 is here to up the ante, and supposedly, it's the hottest season yet. We mean literal heat, not just gameplay. The first 10-ish days scorched the tribe members in Fiji's Mamanuca Islands, rivaling the legendary sunburn-filled grind of Cambodia in Season 31.
Survivor 49 cast
CBSThis season's Survivor 49 cast is a wild mix of personalities, from strategists to superfans to players who seem destined to be chaotic energy at tribal council. There are 18 total, battling the elements and each other. And if the whispers are true, at least two of these castaways will be back next year for the landmark Survivor 50.
As mentioned, the Survivor 49 air date is locked for Sept. 24, and you can catch it live on CBS at 8/7c. But hey, not everyone has cable anymore, so if you're wondering how to watch, don't stress. Episodes will also stream on Paramount+ Premium live and on Paramount+ Essential the following day, which means you can keep up with the backstabs, blindsides, and blistering sun without the hassle of a cable package. You can also watch on a number of other live streaming services.
It's America's favorite pastime (aside from, like, baseball), and it's back and ready to own your Wednesday nights. Get ready for the deceptiveness, the truths, the lies, the sunburns, and the inevitable Probst one-liners. Survivor 49 is about to bring heat in more ways than one.
