Media Inquiry Form

Thank you for your interest in covering Orlando City SC of MLS, Orlando Pride of the NWSL and Orlando City B of USL League One.

The single-game credential application is now open. Please read the following reminders and updates:

• Credential applications must be submitted no later than 48 hours from match kickoff and 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.
  • There will be zero exceptions for OCB credential applications that are submitted within 48 hours from kickoff.
• Credentials and seating space in the Press Box are limited and priority will be given to those working on a deadline.
• 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.
• The credential application will open 4-6 weeks before each match date. For travel or scheduling purposes, if you require approval to future dates that are not listed, please contact Matt Bodiford (mbodiford@orlandocitysc.com) for Orlando City games, Jackie Maynard (jmaynard@orlandocitysc.com) for Orlando Pride or OCB games.
