New season, new rules

With the new season only a day away the EFL have provided guidance on what supporters should expect from match officials during the 2024/25 campaign. This is a summary of the changes:

  • Denial of an obvious goal-scoring opportunity
  • Penalty kick process – encroachment
  • Approach to dissent on the pitch
  • The amount of time the ball is in-play
  • The amount of time before an injured play can return to the field of play
  • Clarification of the handball and holding offences

You can view the full guidance issued by the EFL here to familiarise yourself ahead of the new season.
