The technology will be limited to four potentially game-changing situations: helping referees reduce errors near goals, penalty decisions, red cards and cases of mistaken identity.
"I'm looking forward to it because just from an idea, philosophy standpoint, it will .... get correct calls and that's what we want," said Portland Timbers coach Caleb Porter.
The new system, which has been three years in the developing, means that starting with this weekend's 22 games, there will be a fifth member of every officiating crew in a booth in the stadium with access to all broadcast replays.
"It's not going to change the way the game is played," Howard Webb, a former World Cup and Premier League referee who is now the face of VAR, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
