Are There Offsides on Throw Ins?

There is no offside offence if a player receives the ball directly from a goal kick, a corner kick, or a throw-in.

What are the 3 exceptions where offsides will not be called?

Yes, there are a few exceptions: During a corner kick, goal kick, or throw-in you can't be offside. If the other team kicks the ball to you while you are in an offside position, you will not be called offside.

What is the new offside rule?

“The current rule says that if part of your body with which you can score is over the line of the second to last defender then it's offside,” said Infantino. “We are now testing the opposite. In other words, if any part of your body with which you can score is in line, then it's not offside.”
