Information for media representatives wishing to visit the SKA Arena

SKA Hockey Club is pleased to welcome journalists to SKA Arena at the 2024/2025 KHL season and explains the procedure for stadium access for media representatives.

The SKA Arena is located at 8 Yuri Gagarin Prospect in Saint Petersburg. You can get to the stadium by public transport: free shuttles will run from the nearest Park Pobedy metro station, while the walk to the arena through the park will take between 10 and 15 minutes.

If you have 2024/2025 KHL season accreditation:

Holders of personal 2024/2025 KHL season accreditation do not need to obtain any additional accreditations to work at the SKA Arena. There is a barcode on the back of your accreditation which will be scanned by hand scanners at the gates.

If you do not have 2024/2025 KHL season accreditation:

You must apply for one-game accreditation in advance via the KHL media portal online at media.khl.ru, selecting the desired match in the events calendar.

If your application is approved, you must visit the ticket office at the SKA Arena and present your identification document at window #1. You will be given a special accreditation card to enter the press centre through the gates.

This particular accreditation card will only be valid for entry through the gates. Once you reach the press centre, you will be given a one-game KHL accreditation. It must be returned to the employees of SKA's press office following the match's completion.

If you are driving your own car:

You must obtain a car pass for parking in advance. It is issued by the club's press attaché upon prior request. Please note that the number of car passes is limited.

With a car pass, you enter the P5 card park from the Kosmonavtov Prospect side. To access the stadium with seasonal accreditation, you can use gate six.

If you do not have seasonal accreditation, then to get a one-time accreditation, you need to park your car and walk along the perimeter (through the park area or Kuznetsovskaya Street) to the Cashier's Pavilion. The walk will take some time, so please arrive at SKA Arena early.

Please note: you can only enter with a car pass once. For each match, you must request a new pass from SKA's press office.

Entrance to the arena. Time and gates:

During the day, gates number four and six will be open for accredited persons.

Two and a half hours before the start of the match, the Express entrance for VIPs will be opened additionally — it is located next to the ticket office which is near the arena's the main entrance (the right pavilion, if you look at the stadium from Victory Park).

Two hours before the match, all gates will be opened for entry — accredited journalists can use any entrance. Please note that gates No. 1 and 2 are located closest to the press centre.
