Eurovision media accreditation categories
The official accreditation portal currently lists five standard media categories. The final category assigned to an approved applicant determines the type of access available.
| Category | Who it is for | Typical profile |
|---|---|---|
| M1 | International Media | Media organisations with a global audience or significant international reach. |
| M2 | National Media | National broadcasters, newspapers, radio networks and other media primarily serving a participating country. |
| M3 | Regional or Niche Media | Regional outlets and specialist media focused on areas such as music, entertainment or cultural events. |
| M4 | Digital Content Creators and ESC-Focused Media | Bloggers, vloggers, podcasters, social creators and media focused specifically on Eurovision. |
| M5 | Online Media Centre Access Only | Remote access to the Online Media Centre without on-site accreditation. |
What applicants should prepare
The EBU says professional media applicants can be asked for evidence of their role, while all categories require information about the reach and impact of the publication or platform and the planned Eurovision coverage.
Digital creators can apply through the M4 route. Media representatives who only need remote access can apply for M5 Online Media Centre access.
What is not confirmed for Burgas yet?
The application opening month is confirmed, but the current public information does not yet establish the Burgas-specific Media Centre opening hours, accreditation collection arrangements, on-site capacity, access timetable or detailed working facilities.
Those details will be added here only after the EBU or BNT publishes the 2027 accreditation handbook or Burgas operational guidance.
