The Premier League is BACK! ๐
The Premier League is finally back! ๐ฅ๐
But with it, there come also some interesting rule changes! ๐
Did you know about these 5 reforms in the Premier League this season? ๐
1: Refereeing explanations ๐ฃ๏ธ
The Premier League has created a new X account called Premier League Match Centre, and on there, theyโll be posting regular updates from referees and VAR to give clarification on in-match decisions.
2: Earlier team news ๐ฐ
Rather than getting the lineups 1 hour before kick off as we always have, this year itโll be posted an hour and 15 minutes before kick off, so good news for all you FPL players out there!

3: Semi-automated offsides ๐ค
Rather than the human drawn lines which have caused so much controversy, the Prem will be moving to semi automated offsides, just like other European Leagues. But we may have to wait till October as the technology is not ready to go in all stadiums yet.
4: 5 subs instead of 3 ๐ค
Ever since 2020, clubs have been allowed 5 substitutes. However this year, up to 5 players will be allowed to warm up on the touchline at a time, whereas previously it was only 3.
5: Less added time โฑ๏ธ
The Premier League experimented with lengthier added stoppage time last season, just like we saw in the World Cup. But have now decided to scrap that.
But the even bigger question is of course: Whoโs going to win this Premier League season 24/25? ๐
