Please use this portal to request media credentials during the 2026 USF Football season.
Note: Not all requests are granted. We annually receive more than 100 requests from freelance photographers to shoot at South Florida football games and rarely grant those requests. Space is reserved for those shooting for media outlets or generating meaningful impressions through social media accounts. Consideration of the audience a media outlet or social media account regularly reaches will be strongly considered when approving or denying requests.
Please provide pertinent information where appropriate in your application.
SEASON CREDENTIALS: If you (or a member of your organization) are requesting to cover ALL SEVEN REGULAR SEASON HOME games this season, please apply for SEASON CREDENTIALS.
We will consider your request and if not approved may redirect you toward single game possibilities.
SINGLE GAME CREDENTIALS: Individual game credential requests must be made AT LEAST ONE WEEK in advance of each home game week.
When making SINGLE GAME requests, please CHECK ALL THE GAMES that you would like to cover in one credential request submission.
If you would like to cover all seven home games - check SEASON CREDENTIAL ONLY.
For the home season opener on Saturday, Sept. 5 vs. FIU, we will be accepting requests through Aug. 28.
Please email any questions regarding your credential request to:
Associate AD/Communications Brian Siegrist (Siegrist@usf.edu)
