Saudi football fans are bracing for an exceptional summer off the pitch. The 2026 summer transfer window is approaching, and it should spark fierce competition between the clubs of the Saudi Roshn League for the biggest stars and the biggest deals.
Saudi clubs have become major players in the global race for signings in recent years. Backed by the huge financial muscle of the Public Investment Fund, they have pulled in an elite group of the world's most prominent players and lifted the league's standing on the international stage.
Sensational deals have lit up the Saudi Roshn League over recent seasons, grabbing the attention of fans and global media alike. Clubs landed glittering names of the calibre of Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar da Silva, Riyad Mahrez and Karim Benzema, along with numerous stars who raised the technical and marketing value of the competition.
Al-Nassr were crowned champions of the Saudi Roshn League last season, while Al-Ahli claimed the AFC Champions League Elite title. That leaves the upcoming market looking hotter than ever, with the four giants of Saudi football set to go head to head: Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr, Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli, each chasing the strongest deals ahead of a season expected to be full of excitement and challenges at every level.
