BNP Paribas Open Media Policies

Criteria For Accreditation

BNP Paribas Open media credentials are reserved for journalists and photographers covering the event for an accredited media outlet. This can include newspapers, magazines, television/radio stations, podcasts, and more. Applications will not be considered from freelancers, but rather only from the media organization for which you are on assignment. Factors for approval consideration include:

●      Reach and scope of media outlet

●      Prior tennis coverage

●      Requested date(s) of coverage

●      Type, scope and frequency of coverage

●      Type of access requested

The tournament reserves the right to approve or deny accreditation in its sole and absolute discretion. Completion of the application does not guarantee accreditation, nor does accreditation for past years guarantee approval for 2025. The tournament will make the final decision on all credential applications on a case-by-case basis. Media credentials can be revoked at any point at the discretion of the Media Director and Desert Champions Marketing Team.

On-Site Access: At this time, the BNP Paribas Open only offers media credentials for on-site coverage of the tournament. No remote coverage access is offered.

Please note that this application is only for media organizations. For other credential requests including partnerships, influencer marketing, filming requests, or other special projects, please use the contact form below and select the "Media & Marketing" category.
