TOKYO 2020 INFORMATION FOR MEDIA
Written press and photographers
Each National Paralympic Committee (NPC) is responsible for its own country's press accreditation. The process started in 2019 and will be finalised in May 2021 according with the timeline below.
From June 2020, Tokyo 2020 contacted each NPC individually regarding the next phases of the process and to finalise the Press by Name for 2021. Please find information about each NPC here.
Accredited photographers must sign an undertaking in order to collect their photo vests that will provide them access, with their press accreditation, to the photo positions in each venue. This process will happen at the Photo Help Desk at the Tokyo 2020 Main Press Centre during Games time.
For reference, the IPC and Tokyo 2020 will publish the Photographer’s Undertaking on this page.

Non rights-holding TV and radio broadcasters
Non rights-holding TV and radio broadcasters (ENR) organisations applied directly to the IPC. The deadline to request ENR accreditation was 12 July 2019.
Successful ENRs applicants will have to abide by the Radio and Television News Access Rules.
They will be required to sign an agreement related to these Rules ahead of the Games in order to have their accreditation granted.
The News Access Rules apply to radio and television broadcasting by non-rights holding broadcast organisations (ENRs).
News Access Rules are designed to protect the exclusivity of broadcasters which have paid for rights, while permitting fair access for ENRs to broadcast news highlights for news purposes.
The News Access Rules clearly outline the rules that apply to coverage by ENR organisations, as well as venue access rules and restrictions within the host city and country.
The News Access Rules for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games are available here.
Territory Specific News Access Rules (NAR) for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games
The NAR for specific territories will be published here before the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games. Please check this page regularly for updates.
Please take note of the NAR for the following territories:
