The second-to-last episode of season 48 is scheduled to air on Feb. 20, marking the closing night of the 10-episode series.

"Survivor" is bringing in three contestants from season 48 for season 50.

Kyle Fraser, the victor from Survivor 48, Joe Hunter, who came in second place, and Kamila Karthigesu, who finished fourth, are among the 24 contestants participating in season 50.

Here's what you need to know about the start of season 50 and the "Survivor" schedule, along with tonight's episode:

Is Survivor on tonight?

Yes, the tenth and final "Road to 50" episode of Survivor will premiere on Friday, February 20.

It's the penultimate episode of season 48, during which Fraser played a key role in orchestrating Shauhin Davari's elimination in the final six. The episode also saw Davari win the reward challenge and take Fraser and Joe Hunter with him, where they received letters from home. However, Fraser later spread a false story that shocked Davari at tribal council.

The season was recorded during the summer of 2024 and premiered in the spring of 2025.

When is the Survivor episode airing tonight?

The classic episode airing tonight starts at 8 p.m. on Friday, February 20, and will last for 90 minutes.

When does Survivor Season 50 begin? Date of the premiere for Season 50

Survivor Season 50 starts on Wednesday, February 25.

The season's theme is "In the Hands of the Fans" because supporters decided on various elements of the game, such as whether the Final 4 fire making will be included, whether to limit twists or not, whether to give the cast rice immediately or have them work for it, whether hidden immunity idols will be part of the game or not, and more.

Who emerged as the victor in Survivor 48?

Kyle Fraser claimed victory in Survivor 48 with a final vote of 5-2-1 against Eva Erickson and Hunter. The 30-year-old from Brooklyn relied on his solid social and strategic skills to be named the Sole Survivor. His hidden alliance with Karthigesu played a key role in his triumph. None of the other contestants were aware of how closely they worked together during the competition. They stand out as one of the most effective pairs in Survivor's history.

Fraser's performance improved throughout the season, and his blindside of Shauhin Davari, featured in the Road to 50 episode, was crucial to his victory.

He also claimed victory in the final immunity challenge to ensure his place at the final tribal council.

The last three contestants of Survivor 48 were Fraser, Joe Hunter, and Eva Erickson.

After Fraser secured the final 4 immunity challenge, he set Erickson against his ally, Kamilla, in the firemaking competition.

Erickson, who shared a strong connection with Hunter that was a key plot point throughout the season, beat Kamilla to secure her spot in the final three during one of the many heartfelt moments from season 48.

Survivor 50 Challenge

Similar to the Road to 50 marathon, the Survivor 50 Challenge is coming to an end.

The national search for an idol that is uniting "Survivor" fans will conclude in the near future. Forty-three states have already completed their searches, including Wisconsin. Additional ones will occur over the weekend, with Louisiana set to unveil their clues on February 21 and New York on February 22 being the only states so far that have not released theirs.

A fortunate individual in each state will get a chance to win a trip to the Season 50 live reunion in Los Angeles.

The hints for Wisconsin's idol led a large group to the Mitchell Park Domes in Milwaukee on February 19. Attendees also had the chance to meet Andrea Boehlke, a native of Wisconsin and a three-time "Survivor" fan favorite.
