The Roshn League association have rescheduled the eighth, ninth and tenth rounds of the competition, granting a request to extend the preparation window for the Saudi national team ahead of the "Gulf 27" tournament. The move also factors in rest periods between matches and the players' fitness.
Under the new schedule, the eighth round moves to 9-11 October, having previously been set for 17-19 September. The ninth round now runs from 15 to 17 October instead of 9 to 11 October, while the tenth round shifts to 18-20 October rather than 15-17 October.

Organisers have also pushed back the start of the eleventh round to 23 October instead of 22 October, again to preserve the rest periods between matches.
Al-Hilal face Al-Ittihad in the Clasico at the "Kingdom Arena" in the eighth round. Al-Ahli then meet Al-Nassr at the "Al-Inma" stadium in the ninth round, before Al-Nassr take on Neom in the tenth.
The association pledged to keep coordinating with the Saudi Arabian Football Federation to align the Roshn League calendar with the national team's needs, striking a balance between the demands of the competition and preparation for international commitments.
