Replay can refer to the following:
- In sport, the term replay means a second game between two teams after the first tie finishes in a draw. This method of deciding a result is common in many knockout competitions in soccer, notably in the FA Cup. An instant replay also refers to when a questionable call is reviewed, as is common in some sports. Major American sports leagues which use some form of instant replay are the National Football League, National Basketball Association, National Hockey League, and some college football conferences. Major League Baseball has consistently declined calls for an instant replay rule, holding that the judgment of the umpire on the field is absolute and binding upon the play of the game.
- In motion pictures and television, a replay (more commonly called an action replay or instant replay) is a showing again of part of a film. It is widely used in context of filmed sporting activities and often in slow motion to show the action in detail. In serious filmmaking this technique also helps to show the same scene from a different point of view or perspective.
- Replay is a 1987 science fiction novel by Ken Grimwood.
