H2: What’s happening tonight — and this week

CBS kicks off Road to 50 tonight, Feb. 9, with one of the franchise’s most memorable episodes: Survivor: Micronesia’s penultimate hour when the Black Widow Brigade duped Erik Reichenbach. The classic episodes will air across the next two weeks as a lead-up to Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans.

Tonight’s episode begins at 7 p.m. Central (8 p.m. ET) and runs one hour. Six of the 10 marathon episodes air in that 7–8 p.m. Central slot. The final three archived episodes and two season finales in the lineup are extended — 90 minutes to two hours — reflecting Survivor’s recent shift to longer episodes.

H2: Where to watch

All Road to 50 episodes will air on CBS and will be available to stream on Paramount+. Tune to your local CBS station at the listed Central times or stream live on Paramount+ if you prefer on-demand viewing.
