Goodbye, chains! NFL turns to Hawk-Eye technology for precise first-down spotting in 2025 season
The NFL will use Sony's Hawk-Eye technology to measure first downs starting in the 2025 season, replacing the traditional chain crew system. Six 8K cameras will track ball movement for more accurate and quicker measurements. Although the chain crew will now be in a secondary role, the technology aims to enhance officiating precision and game efficiency.
