Survivor Series 1998 was the twelfth annual Survivor Series pay-per-view wrestling event. It was held on November 15, 1998 at the Kiel Center in St. Louis, Missouri. It was headlined with a tournament called The Deadly Game for the World Wrestling Federation Championship. It was the first tournament held with the WWF Championship on the line in ten years, the last being at WrestleMania IV. Coincidentally, both tournaments were 14-man tournaments instead of the regular 8 or 16-man tournaments.
