2026 summer transfer market: when does the Saudi Roshn League mercato begin and end?

Saudi football fans have already fixed their eyes on the summer 2026 transfer window, which promises plenty of excitement off the pitch as clubs line up new deals ahead of the coming season.

Saudi Roshn League clubs have grown into one of the biggest forces on the global transfer market in recent years. They have lured a string of football's biggest stars, driving up international interest in the competition and boosting its technical and marketing value.

The likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Riyad Mahrez and Neymar have all arrived in recent seasons. Those moves grabbed headlines across the world and cemented the league's place among the game's fastest-rising competitions.

Al-Nassr took the league crown last season. Al-Ahli lifted the AFC Champions League Elite title. Expect a transfer window packed with rivalry between the heavyweights, chief among them Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr, Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli, as each looks to bring in names capable of making the difference.

Goal.com runs through the opening and closing dates of the summer 2026 transfer window in the Saudi Roshn League below, along with the registration dates in the Yelo First Division League and the Women's League.

  • Deals tipped for a move to the Saudi Roshn League in the summer 2026 transfer window

    Speculation is growing over potential deals in the 2026 summer transfer window, as Saudi Roshn League clubs continue their efforts to attract more of the world's football stars.

    Several prominent names have surfaced in recent weeks. Mohamed Salah leads the pack, drawing widespread interest after the end of his journey with Liverpool. Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has also been tipped for a new experience outside Europe, while Raphinha could leave Barcelona for the Roshn League and Robert Lewandowski remains in the mix.

    Those names underline just how big the Saudi clubs are thinking. Domestic and continental silverware alone won't satisfy them. They want to strengthen their standing on the global stage by signing players who carry serious sporting and marketing value.

    All possibilities remain open with the window nearing. Much now hinges on official negotiations, and on whether the Saudi clubs can add yet more stars to the shining names already lighting up the Roshn League.
