April 13 – Goalline technology will be used in this season’s English Championship play-offs before being introduced in all second-tier matches in 2017-18.
Clubs agreed “in principle” last month to use goalline technology from the start of next season and those plans have now been confirmed.
Goalline technology has been used in the Premier League since 2013 and the system will be available for both Championship playoff semi-finals, as well as the final, key games for promotion to the lucrative top flight.
“The introduction of goalline technology is a significant step forward for Championship clubs and reflects the importance of the outcome of every single game in the division,” said English Football League chief executive Shaun Harvey.
“It has already proved successful elsewhere in our competitions and I’m confident it will have a similar positive impact week in, week out in the Championship, starting with this year’s Championship play-off semi-finals.”
