Applications For Bowl Credentials Increase 13-Percent

Super Bowl 57 Media Center

The Super Bowl is returning to normal from a press perspective, with accredited media returning to pre-COVID-19 levels.

Front Office Sports reports the league has credentialed over 6,000 media members from over 24 countries to cover Super Bowl 57 in Glendale, Ariz., on Feb. 12.

That’s up 13 percent from the 5,300 media members who covered Super Bowl 56 in Los Angeles last year. And a 150 percent increase over the 2,400 media covering Super Bowl 55 in Tampa at the height of the pandemic in 2021.

This year’s total could equal or surpass the 6,000-plus media who covered Super Bowl 54 in Miami in 2020 before the pandemic put the U.S. sports industry into limbo. But the NFL doesn’t have final figures yet.

The NFL kickoff of Super Bowl 57 on Fox Sports (6:30 p.m. ET).
