The NFL has announced that Sony’s Hawk-Eye system will be the league’s primary method for measuring the line to gain starting in the 2025 season. This technology was tested in the 2024 preseason and regular season, showing a significant reduction in measurement time compared to the traditional chain gang method. The system requires 32 cameras in each stadium to provide more accurate measurements and replay angles. While the technology does not track the ball itself, it will notify officials instantly if a first down is reached, speeding up the pace of play. The league will continue testing the system during UFL games this spring. This change in measurement technology comes after controversial calls, such as a Josh Allen fourth-down sneak ruled short of the line to gain in the AFC Championship game. The NFL has been making rule changes in recent years, including ensuring both teams get possession in overtime after a divisional-round loss by the Bills. The new Hawk-Eye system is expected to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of measurements in the league.
