Football Australia announced in October 2025 that it would introduce VARdict in the Isuzu UTE A-League (men's competition) for the first time in 2025-26. It is an in-stadium system that gives real-time updates on big screens during VAR checks, so supporters can follow what is happening.
The same announcement said the A-Leagues Professional Referee Panel would expand from four to 13 officials, with six full-time and seven part-time referees.
