The application form is HERE.
With the online application form – as with the DFL form – you only need to enter your surname, first name, company/employer, your role (print/online, audio, photographic) plus application for a car park ticket, and also upload a valid press pass. You are no longer required to upload the completed DFL form.
Please ensure that you use the form for the match you wish to attend. This will be closed after the deadline. Please note that applications usually have to be submitted by the Monday ahead of Bundesliga fixtures and by the Thursday ahead of UEFA Champions League matches. If the deadline changes this will be communicated via the usual channels. Short-term changes or absence due to illness will be considered after the deadline. The form is available in German, English and Spanish.
Please note that application for accreditation via email can no longer be guaranteed. We therefore specifically request you not to apply via email.
You will receive confirmation of accreditation after the deadline in a separate email in good time before the match.
