Survivor Czech Republic & Slovakia 2026: Heroes and Villains Battle in the Dominican Republic

The fifth season of Survivor Czech Republic & Slovakia kicked off on February 23, 2026, on the paid portal Oneplay, with episodes also airing on TV Nova with a delay. This year’s installment pits two tribes – Heroes and Villains – against each other in a grueling competition for a grand prize of 2.5 million crowns and a Suzuki e-Vitara.

Initial Challenges and Tribe Dynamics

The season began with two challenges. In the first, contestants raced to transport twelve heavy boxes from a platform in the water to the beach. The Villains tribe emerged victorious, gaining access to the contents of the first three crates, which included a hint for hidden immunity and a saw for shelter building. The Heroes tribe secured wood, axes, and coconut husks in their boxes.

A subsequent challenge offered a flintlock and six unopened boxes as a prize. Despite initial resistance from Tereza, the Heroes ultimately won, uncovering rewards such as food (with a cost), an advantage allowing two players to steal rewards from the opposing tribe, bananas, and a cooking pot.

Within the Villains tribe, Simona quickly became a target after beginning a search for the hidden immunity clue, with Leoš spreading rumors about her discovery. Adam and John have formed an alliance within the Villains tribe, but the rest of the tribe is struggling to connect with them.

Tribal Council and Immunity

The first immunity game saw the Heroes initially trailing, but Jura and basketball player Bety secured victory with strong throws, sending the Villains to the first Tribal Council.

The Villains discovered a “Save Vote” advantage hidden within a pink fur coat – allowing a player to secretly forfeit their vote at Tribal Council for a doubled vote in the subsequent round.

Survivor Rules and Gameplay

Survivor Czech Republic & Slovakia, inspired by the original American version, challenges players physically, psychologically, and socially. Contestants live on a deserted island in the Dominican Republic with limited resources, competing in individual and team challenges. Success hinges not only on survival skills but also on building alliances and navigating the social dynamics to avoid elimination at Tribal Council.

Players can gain immunity through winning challenges or finding hidden immunity idols. The elimination process involves secret votes, with the player receiving the most votes facing potential elimination. The eliminated players ultimately decide the winner.

Broadcast Schedule

Episodes are available on Oneplay every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. TV Nova broadcasts episodes with a delay, airing three episodes per week, each lasting one hour.
