Premier League to test Ref Cams on first weekend with view to permanent rollout
The Premier League is set to trial the use of Ref Cams during the opening weekend of the new season, with the potential for the technology to be implemented permanently for live TV games. The cameras, which can provide near-instant replays of incidents, have been approved by the clubs and supported by the league's broadcast partners, Sky Sports and TNT Sports. The trial is seen as an innovation that could enhance the viewing experience and improve the understanding of the decision-making process of referees. If successful, the Ref Cams could become a regular feature of Premier League broadcasts, offering fans a closer look at the game's officiating and potentially improving the overall transparency of the sport.
