VAR (video assistant referee) was introduced to improve the accuracy of refereeing decisions and reduce the number of disputes.
Critics of the system, however, would argue it has only heightened the level of animosity sparked by officiating calls.
Decisions made with the help of VAR had a huge impact on the 2025/26 Premier League campaign, influencing match outcomes and creating plenty of headlines.
Most fanbases tend to think their respective clubs are hard done by, but some have benefited from tough calls more than other this term.
AceOdds have conducted analysis and crunched the numbers to determine how the final Premier League table would have looked had VAR not been used.
