At the beginning of the 2019-2020 season, the English Premier League introduced Video Assistant Referees (commonly known as VAR) to all matches. This statistic shows the results of a representative survey of the British Public in relation to the English Premier League, presenting the opinions of British adults who watch the Premier League very or fairly frequently, on the future use of VAR within Premier League football matches.
Although the majority of respondents indicated that VAR should continue to be used within the English Premier League, 74 percent of respondents indicated that the way in which it is used should be changed. Conversely, 15 percent of respondents indicated that the English Premier League should stop using VAR entirely.
