How to watch the Survivor: Winners at War finale online from anywhere

With its lineup of past champions, it' set to go down as one of the best seasons ever of the long-running reality show - read on to find out how to watch Survivor: Winners at War‘s epic finale, no matter where you are in the world.

The latest run of the show is all set to wrap up with a marathon final 3-hour episode today - the longest in its 40 season history - with host and showrunner Jeff Probst teasing that it has "so much happening that we could not make it any shorter”.

Billed as "the biggest battle in Survivor history," season 40 has united no less than 20 past winners to compete against each other for a historic $2 million prize.

Denise Stapley, Ben Driebergen, Sarah Lacina, Michele Fitzgerald, and Tony Vlachos are the remaining five players to have reached the final phase. They're set to be joined by one Edge of Extinction returnee, strongly rumoured to be the season’s first eliminated contestant, Natalie Anderson.

The show's usual format of a live finale reunion to crown the Sole Survivor has been scuppered thanks to the coronavirus crisis, but a reunion of shorts still looks set to take place with the show using a video chat platform like Zoom.

Ready to see who will win the $2 million prize and become the "Sole Survivor"? Keep reading to find out how to watch Survivor: Winners at War finale online from anywhere - and what to do if you find yourself stranded away from home.
