WBSC U-23 Baseball World Cup Media Accreditation open

Media registration is open for the WBSC U-23 Baseball World Cup 2024, which will be played at the Shaoxing Baseball and Softball Sports Culture Center, China, from September 6 to 15. The deadline for registration is August 31.

All members of the media, both local/national and international, who plan to cover the U-23 Baseball World Cup must apply for accreditation through the official WBSC Media Accreditation online platform at https://my.wbsc.org.

The accreditations procedure starts by clicking on MEDIA ACCREDITATIONS. The online request form needs to be completed, also including a headshot.

Once the request is submitted, media members will receive an automated email confirmation that their application has been received. Those media intending to cover the event remotely should contact the WBSC Media Department by writing to media@wbsc.org.

Another automated message will indicate a "change of status" in the accreditation request.

Media members can check their request status after the August 31 registration deadline by accessing my.wbsc.org and clicking SEARCH FOR YOUR ACCREDITATION on the top right of the page. They will then need to enter their name, last name and email address.

The WBSC will share a protocol for media interviews during the WBSC U-23 Baseball World Cup with the accredited media before the tournament opens.
