The International Football Association Board (IFAB) approved several amendments to the Laws of the Game at its 140th annual meeting in Hensol Castle, Wales, on February 28, 2026. Drawing from Major League Soccer innovations, the updates target time-wasting, clarify refereeing, enhance VAR usage, and introduce anti-discrimination measures following a Champions League racism allegation. Changes take effect July 1, 2026, with possible earlier adoption for the FIFA World Cup.
