Starting from the 2026-27 season, the Premier League and other English competitions are set to implement a new goalkeeper injury rule in order to stop time-wasting. The Premier League has long been at the forefront of adopting rule changes proposed by soccer’s governing bodies. Ahead of the 2026–27 campaign, the English top flight, alongside several other competitions across the country, will trial a new goalkeeper injury rule designed to crack down on tactical timeouts and time-wasting. As reported by sports journalist Ben Jacobs, the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) received approval from the International Football Association Board (IFAB) to roll out the trial for the upcoming 2026–27 season. PGMOL is the governing body responsible for overseeing match officials across English professional soccer. Consequently, the new rule will be enforced across the Premier League, the English Football League (EFL), major Football Association (FA) cup competitions, and the Women’s Super League (WSL). How the new rule works Goalkeepers going to ground to feign injury has grown into one of soccer’s oldest time-wasting tactics. Because keepers cannot easily be removed from the pitch for medical evaluation, a stoppage forces the match to grind to a halt, offering teams a prolonged breather or a chance to gather along the touchline for tactical instruction. Martin Dubravka of Burnley recieves treatment for a head injury. Under IFAB’s newly approved trial, anytime a match is stopped for a goalkeeper to receive medical treatment, an outfield teammate must temporarily leave the pitch for one minute of active play. This builds on recent player-evaluation protocols, but since a keeper cannot leave the field without forcing a stoppage, a teammate must serve the temporary exile outside the touchline instead. Once the head referee signals team physios onto the pitch, the manager has 10 seconds to select an outfield player to step off the field and report his choice to the fourth official. If the manager fails to nominate a player within that 10-second window, the team captain is automatically required to leave the field. Similar to general player-treatment rules, several exemptions will apply. An outfield teammate will not be required to leave the pitch if: The goalkeeper says they do not need the physio and they have not caused play to stop.The goalkeeper and an outfield player have collided.A goalkeeper is fouled and needs immediate treatment.A goalkeeper is bleeding.A goalkeeper suffered a serious injury (has to be substituted) or concussion. Additional World Cup-inspired rules for 2026-27 Ahead of the 2025-26 season, English soccer introduced an eight-second possession cap on goalkeepers to deter delay-of-game tactics and keep matches moving. Now, additional pace-of-play initiatives showcased at the 2026 World Cup will be integrated into the domestic calendar. Under the updated guidelines, players will face a strict five-second countdown on throw-ins and goal kicks, while substituted players will have a maximum of 10 seconds to exit the pitch. The complete package of rules is set to debut Saturday, Aug. 1, during the Carabao Cup preliminary round matchup between Tranmere Rovers and Rochdale.
