🎮 Sky Sports to debut 'video game' camera angle for Arsenal vs Man City | OneFootball

Sky Sports and the Premier League will trial an innovative new camera angle during the Arsenal vs Manchester City game this Sunday.

According to the Athletic, the angle, which will be called ‘Game Mode’, will track action from side to side as seen in football video games.

The aim is to give viewers a greater appreciation of space, in addition to showing player runs and ball movements from a different point of view.

It is the first time Sky will use the gantry level “railcam” and the Premier League are set to make the system available to all of their broadcasting partners, both domestically and abroad.

Speaking on the matter, Premier League head of media operations and innovation, Rachel Nightingale said: “The Premier League is always looking for ways to enhance the broadcast experience for fans around the world.”

The camera angle was trialed previously in Arsenal’s Women’s Super League opening day loss to Liverpool on October 1st.

While the alternative feed of the game will air in the United Kingdom on Sky Sports Football, the standard and traditional coverage will still be available on Sky Sports Premier League.
