CFL Survivor Pool — Free Last-Team-Standing Pool for Canadian Football Fans
One team a week, no repeats, no second chances. CFL survivor is simple in theory and brutal in practice — pick a winner, save your favourite teams for the weeks you really need them, and try to be the last one standing when the dust settles.
How it works
- 1
Join a survivor pool
Hop into a public CFL survivor pool or create a private one for your friends. Settings include a mulligan that saves you from your first wrong pick — use it wisely.
- 2
Pick one team to win each week
Choose a single CFL team you think will win that week. If they win, you advance. If they lose (and you've used your mulligan), you're out for the rest of the season.
- 3
Don't repeat a team
This is the twist that makes survivor a strategy game. You can only use each CFL franchise once all season, so you have to plan ahead — when do you spend Toronto, when do you save Winnipeg?
- 4
Outlast the field
The pool runs every week of the regular season. Be the last person — or one of the last people — still alive at the end and you've won.

Sign up free to playFrequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes. CFL survivor on News Hub Fantasy is free to enter and free to host a private pool with friends. No entry fees, no premium upsell.
Do I need to know the CFL to play?
Survivor is one of the easiest formats to pick up — you just choose one team to win each week. Knowing a bit about the CFL helps you save the right teams for the tough weeks, but newcomers do well all the time.
When does the CFL season start?
The CFL regular season runs from June through November, with the Grey Cup wrapping up in late November. Survivor pools open for picks the week before kickoff, so sign up now and you'll be ready.
How do prizes work?
News Hub Fantasy is free-to-play, so survivor results award leaderboard rank and bragging rights rather than cash. Friends often run their own private side wagers — the platform tracks the picks and survival status for free.
