Run Your Survivor Pool On Autopilot
NFL Knockout is the easiest way to run a private survivor pool. Commissioners create a league in minutes, invite their group, and let the app handle weekly picks, fair lock times, eliminations, and standings — with live scores built in.
Every team. Every week. One survivor.
Stop chasing picks in group texts
Running a survivor pool should feel like game day — not admin night. NFL Knockout replaces the manual work with one fair, fast place to play.
The old way
Chasing picks in texts and email
Commissioners spend hours reminding people, decoding screenshots, and updating spreadsheets after every game.
With NFL Knockout
One place to submit and lock picks
Players log in, make their own picks, and see deadlines clearly. You stop being the middleman.
The old way
Manual elimination tracking
One wrong cell in a spreadsheet can derail trust for the whole season.
With NFL Knockout
Automatic grading and standings
Results flow in, eliminations update, and standings stay accurate — without you touching a formula.
The old way
Unfair early pick visibility
When picks leak early, someone always feels the pool is rigged.
With NFL Knockout
Fair lock and reveal rules
Picks stay hidden until lock or reveal settings apply. Server-enforced deadlines keep everyone on the same clock.
Three steps to a running pool
Survivor pools are simple: pick one team each week, survive if they win, and avoid reusing teams. NFL Knockout handles the rest.
Create your league
Set your pool name, format, and rules in a guided wizard. Survivor or loser pool — your call.
Invite your players
Share an invite link or send email invites. Players register once and join with a token.
Make weekly picks
Each week, every active entry picks one NFL team before the deadline. Last entry standing wins your pool.

From pick grids to live scores, NFL Knockout is survivor pool software that feels like the app your group already wished they had.

Frequently asked questions
What is a survivor pool?
Each week, every active entry picks one NFL team. If that team wins, the entry survives. If it loses or ties, the entry is eliminated. A team usually cannot be reused by the same entry in the same season. The last entry standing wins the pool.
Is NFL Knockout a sportsbook or betting site?
No. NFL Knockout is survivor pool management software. It does not take bets, offer odds, or handle wagering. Private league arrangements outside the app are the responsibility of the league organizer and participants.
Does the app manage prize money?
No. NFL Knockout does not collect, hold, manage, or distribute private league prizes or payouts. Platform fees — when they apply — are for software access and league management tools only.
Is NFL Knockout affiliated with the NFL?
No. NFL Knockout is an independent platform. Team names and schedules are used for identification and gameplay context only. We are not endorsed by or affiliated with the National Football League or its teams.
Where do I log in?
Use the app at app.nflknockout.com. Your NFL Knockout account is separate from this marketing site — register once and use the same login across all your leagues.
Can I be in multiple leagues?
Yes. One account works across every league you join. Use the league switcher in the app sidebar to move between pools — you might be a commissioner in one and a player in another.
How do invite links work?
Commissioners share a link that sends players to the app join flow. New players can register; returning players log in and accept the invite. Multiple entries per invite are supported when league rules allow.
