Video replays will be shown on TV screens inside grounds next season, the Premier League have confirmed.
Clubs agreed to bring in VAR last year, with the technology, which was successfully used in the last season’s Champions League, set to be used from the start of the 2019/20 campaign.
The hope is that the introduction of VAR will see match-changing decisions reviewed in-game, in a bid to reduce mistakes made by on-field officials.
But to ensure fans inside the ground are aware of what is going on, the league has created graphics which will be displayed on giant screens to explain any VAR-related delays to a match, and any overturned decisions.
The Premier League are also looking at possible ways in which replays of incidents can be sent to mobile phones via an app.
VAR will only intervene though on "clear and obvious errors" or "serious missed incidents" relating to: Goals, penalties, straight red cards or mistaken identity.
The Premier League’s statement read: “Premier League clubs were today provided with an update on plans for the introduction of VAR in the competition next season.
“This included details on in-stadium communications, in particular when there is a clear delay to a match because of VAR, and when refereeing decisions are over-turned due to the intervention of VAR.
“The Premier League has created graphics which will be displayed on giant screens to explain any VAR-related delay to a match, and any over-turned decision.
“Additionally, if the VAR believes there is a definitive video-clip which helps explain an over-turned decision to fans, it will be broadcast on giant screens. In addition, the Premier League is investigating the possibility of messages and video-clips being viewed on handheld devices via an app.
“For clubs which do not have giant screens in their stadium, VAR communications will be made via a combination of PA announcements and messages on scoreboards.”
