- Individual and permanent accreditation for the 2026 season possible now
- Official DTM Media Day on 14th April at the Red Bull Ring (A)
Munich. Accreditation is open for the 2026 DTM. The season officially kicks from 24th to 26th April at the Red Bull Ring (A) in Spielberg, Austria, where eight manufacturers and a field of top-class drivers will go head to head for the first time this year. Roughly one and a half weeks beforehand, on 14th April, the official test day at the same venue provides the first opportunity for the teams and drivers to flex their muscles. Media representatives can now apply for individual and permanent accreditations online at
akkreditierung.adac-motorsport.de.
The accreditation portal is available in German and English, and provides information on detailed guidelines. All necessary documents for a season accreditation must be submitted by no later than 1st April 2026. The deadlines for individual accreditations are listed in the overview below. The DTM season accreditation also includes accreditation for the two ADAC GT Masters events, which take place outside the DTM at the ADAC Truck Grand Prix (10th to 12th July) and the ADAC Racing Weekend (4th to 6th September).
A separate accreditation is required for those wishing to attend the pre-season test at the Red Bull Ring on 14th April. This must be submitted by 6th April 2026.
Media accreditations for the DTM do not entitle holders to record moving images. TV and film teams require a filming permit for this purpose. Please direct any queries regarding national and international TV filming permits, and planned broadcasts on online portals, to:
