The Arizona Diamondbacks revised credential information and media policies for the 2020 Summer Camp and regular season is as follows:

  • Previously distributed 2020 D-backs season credentials and BBWAA cards, including honorary Gold Cards, will not be valid at Chase Field.
  • All media must apply for daily credentials at least 48 hours prior to the event (workout or game).
  • Media availability for Summer Camp workouts and regular-season games at Chase Field will be disseminated via e-mail and @DbacksComm.
  • Approved access will be granted to media whose presence is deemed essential for each event for home and visiting teams, up to a maximum of 35 media credentials, per Major League Baseball’s updated guidelines.
  • Media able to gather interview video and audio without requiring on-site presence may not be granted access.
  • Broadcast staff and crew must adhere to the credential and media policies, unless otherwise directed by D-backs Broadcasting and/or Communications.
  • Allow extra time for entry due to the new entry procedures (detailed below).
