Public clarifications from VAR, harsh substitution limits and a penalty hour for medical assistance on the field - Spanish football is preparing for large-scale changes, aimed at enhancing the game.

The Spanish La Liga has officially announced the introduction of new judicial rules that will begin with the 2026/27 season.. Innovations are important to combat the delays in the playing hour and expand the video replay system (VAR).

The greatest innovation is the insight of judicial decisions. From now on, referees will be allowed to publicly announce and explain their final decision into a microphone for the entire stadium after a VAR review.

In addition, the scope of video replays is expanding. VAR can be used in the following situations:.

Checking potential other cards. Types of milk identification of gravel when marked with a red card. Incorrectly assigned cut-off blow. La Liga is introducing unprecedented approaches to increase net gaming hours.

The rules remain the same both before substitutions and before changes through injuries:.

Rule of 10 seconds for substitutions: Before you can replace them, you must leave the fields within 10 seconds. If you don’t get the chance to work, the gravel who comes in as a replacement will be careful to wait until one hour, first you are allowed to enter the group (the command is played in a minority of this hour).

Medical assistance: Football players who receive medical assistance directly on the lawn will be liable to lose one half-length of land outside the field before turning around..

Special rule for goalkeepers: If the goalkeeper makes a stop for medical assistance, and no foul has been called against him, one of his teammates is required to leave the field for one half..

Updated greens: The rotation of the ball in the greens will be controlled better by means of a five-second turnaround..

In this case, the innovation is due to the occurrence of episodes of underground torcaning under the hour of breaking through the eleven-meter. If the gravel, which results in a penalty, hits the ball hard (for example, by licking and touching the kicker with his supporting foot): If the ball goes in at the goal, the penalty is interrupted. If a goal is not scored - the kick is considered unrealized (without the right to retake).

This package of clicking rules makes La Liga matches more dynamic, smarter for spectators and minimizes the tactical tricks that teams use to extract a possible lead..

Guess what, it became clear earlier that the 2026/27 La Liga season would end on the 14th sickle.
