This season's Carabao Cup semifinals will see the trial of in-stadium VAR announcements for the first time in English football, enhancing transparency for fans.
The new pilot forms part of PGMOL's broader commitment to transparency and embracing technological advancements for the benefit of Match Officials and fans.
This latest pilot has the support of the EFL and follows earlier collaboration with PGMOL in 2018 to trial VAR in EFL competitions ahead of its introduction in the Premier League.
In-stadium referee announcements have previously taken place at major events, such as the 2022 FIFA Club World Cup and the 2023 Women's World Cup.
