Al Nassr FC vs Al Shabab kick-off time

Al Nassr Al Shabab kicks off on 17 Jan 2026 at 12:30 EST and 17:30 GMT. 

Match preview

Al Nassr are seven points adrift of Saudi Pro League pace-setters Al Hilal. Their blistering start to the season, where they picked up 10 consecutive wins, feels like a long time ago. Jorge Jesus' men are now winless in four matches across all competitions, most recently spurning a lead to lose 3-1 at Al Hilal. 

Al-Shabab are hovering near the relegation zone with 11 points from 14 matches, just two points above the bottom three. Their only league victory prior to matchweek 14 arrived in matchweek 2 against Al-Hazem. That drought finally ended on Wednesday when the White Lions edged NEOM Sports Club 3–2, with Belgian star Yannick Carrasco contributing two goals and an assist.
