2024 Media Credential Application

The Canadian Premier League (CPL) and its member clubs are now accepting full-season media credential applications for the 2024 CPL season.

Please specify which club you are interested in covering using the drop-down menu at the top of the form below. Should media be interested in requesting full-season media credentials for more than one club, please fill out one application per relevant club.

Your submitted credential application(s) will be reviewed by the relevant club(s). Deadline for credential applications is Friday, March 15 at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT. Media will be notified by a club representative of their accreditation status via email no later than Friday, April 5.

Media that require match day press box and/or field access consistently throughout the season to produce editorial coverage should apply for full-season credentials, including print, television, radio, and digital outlets that produce regular and professional content adhering to accepted journalistic principles. Media should not apply for credentials as a means to watch CPL matches, and working members of the media cannot hold tickets to matches they are covering. Any person attending a game as a credentialed member of the media is required to work in designated media areas.

For outlets looking to cover matches sporadically, single-match credentials will be available throughout the 2024 season. Media interested in covering single games will be required to submit a request to the home club at least 48 hours prior to kickoff. Single-match credentials will be approved at the discretion of the home club. Media must receive approval for a single-match credential from the home club before press box and/or field access will be granted.

Any media approved for either a full-season or single-match credential is agreeing to follow the League’s Media Policy, which will be provided with your credential. Failure by credentialed media to abide by such guidelines may result in removal from the venue or revocation of accreditation.

If you have any questions or concerns as it relates to media credentials for the 2024 CPL season, please contact media@canpl.ca.
