Orlando City & Orlando Pride Media Credential Application

Thank you for your interest in covering Orlando City SC of MLS and the Orlando Pride of the NWSL. Please use the table below to apply for single-game credentials for matches this season. The application for games will be available 4-6 weeks ahead of each match. If you need to apply/confirm access earlier, please contact Lucas Medeiros directly (details below).

Application Notes:

• The deadline to apply for credentials is 72 hours ahead of each match. No exceptions will be made.
• Applying for a credential does not guarantee access. Confirmation will be sent to those who are approved.
• Credentials are only for media outlets that need game day Press Box and/or Field access to produce editorial coverage, not to watch the match. This includes newspapers, TV, radio and legitimate digital websites that produce consistent and professional content adhering to accepted journalistic principles.
• Applications from freelance writers, photographers or videographers must come from a direct supervisor validating professional and editorial need for media access. All applications using a personal email address, such as Gmail or Hotmail, must provide validation from their outlet.

Season Credential Holders: All season credentialed media members must RSVP with the Orlando City/Pride Communications team prior to each match they wish to attend; Season credentials do not guarantee access to matches.

OCB Credentials: Media members wishing to attend OCB matches are asked to email Rob Hildreth (rhildreth@orlandocitysc.com)
