NFL Tests Sony's Hawk-Eye Technology for First Down Measurements

New system aims to replace traditional chain gang, promising enhanced accuracy and efficiency.

The NFL will trial Sony's Hawk-Eye technology during select 2024 preseason games.
This system uses multiple cameras to track the ball and determine first downs with high precision.
Full implementation across all NFL stadiums is anticipated by the 2025 season.
The traditional chain gang method will remain as a backup during the transition.
Sony's partnership with the NFL also includes new headsets for coaches starting in 2025.
