We get asked fairly regularly which sites will allow you to watch Survivor online. Generally, though, the question is about a specific season: “Where can I find Pearl Islands?”, “Where can I find Heroes vs. Villains?”, etc.
Obviously, DVDs are for chumps. The best way to binge Survivor seasons is by first consulting our spoiler-free ranking of Survivor seasons and picking the one you’d like to watch, then find somewhere that is streaming them. But while there are several sources available that will allow you to watch Survivor online, the seasons that they offer vary. Hopefully this page will help you locate the specific season you’re looking for. We’ll try to keep it current, so if you notice that any of the information below has changed, please let us know.
Disclosure: We get three whole dollars if you sign up for Amazon Prime. So if you were going to sign up for it anyway, it would be nice if you did it through our link. We don’t get any money for the other sites.

CBS All-Access
If you want to watch Survivor online and not have to worry about which seasons will be available, this is probably the place to do it (assuming you’re cool with enduring commercials even though you’re paying to watch). Since this is the official CBS streaming site, they have every single season of the show available. They even have some limited bonus footage.

Amazon also sells some of the seasons they don’t offer through Amazon Prime. You can buy these Survivor seasons:
Season 9: Vanuatu
Season 10: Palau
Season 11: Guatemala
Seasons 25 through 32: Philippines through Kaoh Rong
Cost: Seasons range in cost from $10 to $25 per season. Episodes range from $1-2 each.
Buy individual seasons/episodes on iTunes
You can currently find these Survivor seasons on iTunes:

Hopefully this list helps you find what you were looking for. And yes, we realize there are other places to watch Survivor online that involve pirating the show. But since we are Survivor fans, we’d generally prefer the show to stay profitable so it will remain on the air.
