Premier League to air live referee-player audio

For the first time, fans will hear on-field conversations between players and referees during live broadcasts.

What happened. The Premier League will allow audio of on-field conversations between players and referees to be used during live broadcasts for the first time this season, as part of an expansion of the RefCam system.

• RefCam became permanent last season after a six-week trial.
• Previously, audio was not televised until several days later.
• The move aims to enhance the viewer experience.

The change is part of ongoing efforts to increase transparency and engagement for fans.
