The Premier League will introduce semi-automated offside technology on Saturday 12 April (Match Round 32). This follows non-live testing in the Premier League and live operation in the FA Cup this season.

Semi-automated offside technology automates key elements of the offside decision-making process to support the video assistant referee (VAR).

It provides more efficient placement of the virtual offside line, using optical player tracking, and generates virtual graphics to ensure an enhanced in-stadium and broadcast experience for fans.

The technology maintains the integrity of the process while enhancing the speed, efficiency, and consistency of offside decision-making.

The Premier League has worked in collaboration with PGMOL and sports data and technology company Genius Sports to develop the new semi-automated offside technology system.
