Super Bowl LXI Credential Application Now Open

The NFL has begun the media accreditation process for Super Bowl LXI in Los Angeles on Feb. 14, 2027, and related events taking place the week of Feb. 8.

Media can find the application on the NFL’s credential portal, which is housed on media.NFL.com under the “Events” tab. An approved media.NFL.com account is required in order to view and access the portal. Only one application may be submitted per media organization. The application deadline is Friday, Dec. 4.

All applications must be submitted by the sports editor, sports director or photo editor. If an application is submitted using a personal email address, it will not be considered.

On the application form, media can request different gameday credential types as well as Week of Game Only credentials. For a full description of available credential types and the access each provides, click here.

All credential types come with access to the Super Bowl LXI Media Center during the week, Super Bowl Experience and Super Bowl week news conferences, including Super Bowl Opening Night Fueled by Gatorade. The Super Bowl Media Center and Super Bowl Experience will both be located at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Please Note: All gameday credentials include a Week of Game credential. There is no need to request a Week of Game credential in addition to a gameday credential. Requests for Week of Game credentials should only be made for those individuals that do not need gameday access.

Radio Row positions may also be requested via the credential application, by selecting “Yes” to the Radio Row question. Organizations that have been granted a fixed position on Radio Row will be informed via email after final accreditation decisions have been made. For the Super Bowl LXI Radio Row Guidelines, click here.

Parking requests for media at the Media Center during Super Bowl week and near SoFi Stadium for gameday may also be made on the application. Please note that parking is limited and not guaranteed. The NFL will be providing media shuttles from the Media Center to each team media availability during the week, as well as the stadium on gameday.

For information on purchasing Domestic Compound space or Postgame Live, please contact Scott Kendall at 20Domestic@NFL.com.

If you are an NFL international rights holder, you must apply by using the special link that will be provided to you via email in due course.
