In order to best utilize our space and be aware of who will be present each week, we will no longer be issuing season-long media credentials.
Please select the games you know you will be able to cover this upcoming season when applying. If things change a week out, you would still be able to apply.
For additional information or assistance, please contact Dan Colleran (dcolleran@umass.edu) and Hana Johnson (hanajohnson@umass.edu) in the UMass Athletics Communications office. New for 2025, all parking passes will be digital and emailed out prior to gameday.
