The Saudi Pro League has grown significantly in prominence in recent seasons, following huge club investment and the influx of a whole host of global footballing stars. It now holds the distinction of being the highest-ranked league in Asia.
Unsurprisingly, attendance has been on the rise as a result. Over 2.5 million fans attended SPL games last season, which is 1.3 million more than a decade ago.
Fancy going to one of the Kingdom’s must-see derbies, such as the Sea Derby (Al-Ittihad vs Al-Ahli), the Capital Derby (Al-Hilal vs Al-Nassr), or the Eastern Derby (Al-Ettifaq vs Al-Qadsiah)?

Matchweeks are usually staged across three days, the majority of which run from Thursday to Saturday to coincide with the Saudi weekend (Friday and Saturday) and tickets are usually released a couple of weeks before each match.
In addition, if you are looking to secure seats in advance of official release or hoping to snap up last-minute tickets, you may wish to consider secondary retailers such as StubHub or Ticombo, with tickets from SAR17.

You can usually pick up a basic Saudi Pro League match ticket for SAR50-100, making attending affordable for solo travellers, groups of fans or football-obsessed families.
Notable events, particularly with renowned football teams like Al Hilal FC or Al Nassr FC, cost more though, especially in prime viewing areas.

What to know about the Saudi Pro League 2025/26?
The Saudi Pro League may have been created in 2007, but its roots originate from the 1950s and His Majesty's League competition. Nine different clubs have reigned supreme as Saudi champions if you go right back to those early days. However, since the top-tier division rebranded to the Saudi Pro League, three sides have dominated. Fourteen of the 17 titles since 2007 have gone to Al-Hilal (8), Al-Nassr (3) and Al-Ittihad (3) and it’s been 9 years since one of those sides hasn’t worn the Saudi crown.
Success inevitably leads to popularity and therefore it’s no surprise that those three clubs, Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr (along with Al-Ahli) have the highest attendances in the league. In fact, they account for over 60% of the total Saudi Pro League annual attendance. Those clubs have also tended to attract the majority of the foreign stars who ply their trade in the Middle East.
The 2022 purchase of Cristiano Ronaldo is SPL’s stand-out signing of all-time. Al-Nassr were in dreamland, especially as CR7 had previously turned down a move to local neighbours and arch-rivals, Al Hilal. Ronaldo’s arrival revolutionised Saudi Arabian football as a whole and set the stage for numerous top-level European league players to join the Saudi Pro League.
With four of the current Saudi Pro League sides based in Riyadh (Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr, Al-Shabab and Al-Riyadh), a sport-lover’s trip to the Saudi capital often means taking in a Pro League match during their vacation. With the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, Aleksandar Mitrovic, Neymar, Jhon Duran and Darwin Nunez having played (or still playing) for Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr, it’s no surprise that demand for tickets is high whenever those clubs are in action.
Clubs from Riyadh may have dominated the Saudi game in the past, but Al Ittihad from the Red Sea coastal city of Jeddah have defiantly held their own down the years and are one of the biggest football clubs in the country and in Asia as a whole. Numerous football fans would love to see the current Saudi champions in live action, especially when they have a glittering line-up that includes Karim Benzema, Steven Bergwijn, Moussa Diaby and Fabinho.
