EFL clubs are opposed to the introduction of a VAR challenge system for managers in the Championship.
Sky Sports News understands that the idea was proposed by English football’s refereeing governing body, the PGMO.
EFL clubs received a demonstration of how it would work and provided feedback at their annual general meeting last month.
As a result, there will continue to be no VAR in the EFL next season, with only goal-line technology being used in the Championship.
VAR is currently unpopular in the Premier League, but its powers will be expanded
VAR is set to continue in the Premier League, despite recent surveys showing its current unpopularity.
At the end of March, the Football Supporters Association surveyed 8,000 fans of 20 Premier League clubs.
75% of fans said they opposed the use of VAR, but 90% disagreed that the introduction of VAR in the Premier League improved the matchday experience.
91% of fans said VAR has taken away the spontaneity of goal celebrations, while 94% disagreed that VAR has made watching football on TV more enjoyable.

Arne Slott laments VAR after Liverpool’s penalty against PSG was canceled, but have the Reds struggled with this type of decision all season?
All the while, VAR’s powers have been expanded by football’s parliamentarians.
Using VAR for corner checks will be an option in competitions from this summer, while the core VAR protocols have now been extended to cover second yellow cards.
Lawmakers insist that VAR checks in corners must not delay the execution of kicks and are only used to spot obvious mistakes. Corner kick checks will be optional rather than a mandatory part of the VAR protocol.
Also, VAR will only check a second yellow card given in error. They do not advise referees to issue a second yellow card if no yellow card is shown on the field.
