The scorecard for Premier League referees.
Every rated referee
| Referee | Games26 seasons of match data (2000-01 → 2025-26). Discipline, style and assignment are pooled across a referee's whole career. Only 3 seasons carry PGMOL panel error data (2023-24 →), so the Grade column covers those three, not all 26. | StyleHow a referee runs a game, pooled across his career — not a judgement of accuracy.

Positive = less accurate. Zero = the league-average error rate. Per season only; there is no career grade. In the All view this column is a raw errors-per-match count, not a ranking — a referee with few matches can top it by chance. Grades including 2023-24 come from a coarser instrument and are not comparable across seasons. Full methodology → |

These referees worked before the PGMOL panel began publishing verdicts in 2023-24, so they have no fairness grade and are not in the table above. Their profiles carry career matches, discipline and — where they refereed enough recent games — style.
Why "grade", not "rank"? A single season is a noisy read — most referees sit within a few thousandths of each other, well inside the margin of error. Treat the order as indicative, not definitive, and look at multi-season trajectories for the real signal. Referees with under 15 games are shrunk hard toward the average and shown separately.

Fair to the referees, fair to the statistics. Built entirely on the Premier League's independent Key Match Incidents Panel — not on decisions fans disliked, but on the ones officially ruled wrong. How it works →
