Survivor season 45 finale: Date, start time, where to watch

'Survivor' Season 45 finale will air this week. The culmination of the 45th season of the renowned reality competition series "Survivor" is imminent.

Set to feature the narrowing down of the final five contestants to a final three, the finale will witness a jury comprised of their peers voting to determine the "sole survivor." The victor will not only earn the prestigious title but also lay claim to the coveted $1 million prize.

Scheduled for Wednesday, December 20, at 8 pm (ET)/7 pm (CT), the finale is anticipated to be a three-hour event, a departure from the previous 90-minute episodes of the season.


CBS and Paramount+ will broadcast the Season 45 finale, catering to subscribers of Paramount+ with Showtime. Additionally, the episode will be available for streaming on Paramount+ the following day.

Since it debuted in 2000, "Survivor" has had an ever-shifting cast and has regularly introduced new twists for contestants as they compete to be the last person standing and win a cash prize. Over time, players' wardrobes -- dirt-crusted and minimal though they may be -- have helped further plots and create through-lines in the series, which continues to draw among the highest ratings on network television.

Year after year, with each new crop of "Survivor" castaways, it's easy to see that they're meant to represent a familiar cross-section of archetypes. Even in their off-the-rack tank tops and cargo shorts, characters like the cranky old military vet, the arrogant corporate executive and the pharmaceutical rep next door are recognizable on sight.
