ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024: Media Accreditation Process Now Open

While previous ICC event attendance will be taken into consideration, it does not guarantee media accreditation. All applications will undergo a thorough assessment based on the media organisations, individual applicants, and available media spaces at venues.
The deadline for media accreditation registration is 17h00 Dubai time (GMT +4) on Thursday, 28 March 2024. As part of the application process, the media will need to upload the following documents:
ICC’s Discretionary Rights
The ICC reserves the right to approve, reject, or request further information on all applications at its sole discretion, without providing reasons for doing so.
While selecting matches for coverage, the media should consider the following:
It’s important to note that a tournament pass does not guarantee a space in the media working area on a match day. The ICC will prepare match-day accreditation lists based on its review process (refer to the FAQs document for more details).
Match notifications for the tournament will be announced in due course and published on the online portal. You can log into your account here to view the matches for which you have been allocated a seat in the media box, or a photo position.
As with previous ICC events, NRH camerapersons will be accredited for the tournament, but only reporters will be accredited on match days. To facilitate NRHs, all pre-match and post-match media conferences will be uploaded to the ICC’s Online Media Zone.
Visa Assistance
Once your accreditation is approved, you may request a visa letter for the USA by writing to [email protected] and for the West Indies by writing to [email protected]. Please note that an (I) Visa is required for the USA (more details available in the FAQs document) and visa letters will only be issued to those whose accreditation is approved.
Media Hub
The ICC will operate a Media Hub during the tournament at a central location in Barbados. More details will be announced in due course. Refer to the FAQs document for more information.
The media is strongly advised to read the Media Accreditation Terms and Conditions and refer to the FAQs document to avoid any misunderstandings or inconvenience. These documents are available on the accreditation portal and in the Resources section of the ICC Online Media Zone.
