Premier League to Implement Semi-Automated Offside Technology Next Season

The technology aims to reduce decision times and enhance accuracy, but will not be ready for the season's start.

Premier League clubs unanimously agree to adopt semi-automated offside technology for the 2024-25 season.
The system will be introduced after one of the autumn international breaks, missing the season's start.
Designed to speed up offside decisions by about 30 seconds per incident, the technology uses advanced optical player tracking.
Despite the technological advance, VAR will still play a role in final decision-making, ensuring the accuracy of offside calls.
The new system has been successfully used in other competitions like the UEFA Champions League and the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
