Survivor: Cagayan is the 28th season of the American CBS competitive reality television series Survivor. The season filmed from July 11–August 18, 2013, and premiered on February 26, 2014 with a two-hour episode, featuring 18 new players divided into three tribes of six based on dominant attribute: "Brawn" (athleticism), "Brains" (intelligence), and "Beauty" (attractiveness and charisma). For the first time since Survivor: Thailand in 2002, the finale and live reunion show did not take place on a Sunday but instead aired on a Wednesday, in the show's regular time slot, on May 21, 2014. That night, Tony Vlachos was named the Sole Survivor over Yung "Woo" Hwang by a vote of 8–1.
The fourth consecutive season to be filmed in the Philippines, this season features the return of a hidden immunity idol that can be used at Tribal Council after the votes have been read (similar to Survivor: Panama and Survivor: Cook Islands), which was hidden once the tribes merged, except this idol came without a clue. This is in addition to hidden immunity idols that must be played after the votes are cast but before they are read, as seen in Survivor: Fiji onward. This is also the first time in ten seasons, since , to feature a Final Two, instead of a Final Three, sitting at the Final Tribal Council.
A DVD release of the season is planned and currently available for pre-order on Amazon.com, however, no release date has been announced.
The cast is composed of 18 new players, initially split into three tribes containing six members each: Aparri ("Brawn"), Luzon ("Brains"), and Solana ("Beauty"). Luzon is named after the namesake island in the Philippines, while Aparri and Solana are also named after towns in Cagayan. The cast includes former professional basketball player Cliff Robinson and David Samson, president of Major League Baseball's Miami Marlins.
