New $21 million NFL survivor pool just launched and this is how to join

Every year, fans sign up for Fantasy Football, lock in to make bets, and make predictions for the NFL season. The upcoming 2026 season is going to be no different.

But, for the 2026 season, there's a new survivor pool with a massive $21 million potential payout that is sure to draw attention as the season nears.

Splash Sports and Polymarket are linking up to present the $21,000,000 survivor pool. But how can fans join this survivor pool for a chance to win $21 million?

How fans can join $21 million 2026 NFL survivor pool

To enter this massive $21 million survivor pool, fans in 35 states and Canada will have to pay a $1,000 entry fee, with a max of 150 entries, according to Splash Sports.

Fans will have the chance to enter this survivor pool with a $1,000 entry for a chance to win $21 million if they're the last-one-standing by the end of the season.

As Splash Sports notes, if the final players are eliminated at the same time, or multiple players make it all the way to the end of the season, then the $21 million pot will be split evenly.

DraftKings had a $1.5 million survivor pool in the past, and Circa Sports also has a $20 million survivor pool for this upcoming 2026 NFL season.

But, this $21 million survivor pool from Splash Sports and Polymarket might be the largest survivor pool available

What is a survivor pool, and how do you play?

"Survivor pools" are competitions where players will make selections for each game during the NFL season, and if the team a player picks wins, then that player will advance.

However, if the team loses, ties, or a participant doesn't enter their prediction in time, they will be eliminated from the competition.

It's important to note that with this $21 million competition, players will only be able to choose a team once. Meaning, if the Seattle Seahawks are picked to win in Week 1 against the New England Patriots, the Seahawks cannot be picked again.

A survivor pool is a fun way to keep in touch with the NFL season, and for this upcoming 2026 season, Splash Sports and Polymarket are collaborating with a massive $21 survivor pool with a $1,000 entry fee.
