Premier League Introduces Major VAR Overhaul for 2024-25 Season

New rules emphasize referee's authority, improve fan communication, and aim to reduce player burnout.

Referees' on-pitch decisions will take precedence unless there is a clear and obvious error.
Live VAR updates and replays will be shown in stadiums and shared on social media.
Semi-automated offside technology will be introduced after further testing.
A new rule allows 30 seconds for goal celebrations without adding to match time.
Clubs are urged to temper public criticism of VAR to protect the league's reputation.
