VAR is coming to MLS.
The Professional Referee Association announced last Friday that Video Assistant Replay has been implemented in certain Major League Soccer preseason games, including the Seattle Sounders’ 1-1 friendly draw with the Portland Timbers on Saturday.
The Sounders will also have live, in-game VAR when they take on the San Jose Earthquakes in a scrimmage on Tuesday (9:30 a.m. PT; SoundersFC.com) as well as in their three upcoming matches in Charleston, S.C., for the Carolina Challenge Cup. You can see the full list of preseason matches that will feature VAR testing here.
