Brother of former NRL star joins Australian Survivor 2026

Following in the footsteps of his brother Mat Rogers, country music singer Don Rogers is set to appear on Australian Survivor this year.

Mat famously competed in two seasons of "Champions v Contenders" and "All Stars", where he built a reputation as a physical threat and loyal ally.

Now, it's Don's turn to test himself in the ultimate game of endurance, strategy and social politics.

Don took to Instagram to confirm the news, embracing the family link with a playful nod to this older brother.

The Rogers name is well-known in Australian sporting circles, and Mat's Survivor appearances added a new chapter to the family story.

Don, who will be part of the Barren tribe, now has the opportunity to carve out his own path and potentially outlast his brother in the process. 

With 2026 shaping as another blockbuster season of Australian Survivor, viewers will be watching closely to see whether the family tradition continues.

Australian Survivor: Redemption, where Don will be competing, starts on February 23 on Channel 10.
