Al-Nassr face Al-Ettifaq in battle of perfect starts in Roshn Saudi League

Al-Nassr will put their perfect start to the 2026-27 Roshn Saudi League season on the line when they visit Al-Ettifaq on Tuesday, 25 August 2026.

The match will be played at EGO Stadium, with both sides aiming to make it three wins from their opening three league fixtures.

Al-Nassr, the defending champions, have begun the campaign with victories over Al-Fateh and Al-Riyadh. Their early results have reinforced their intention to retain the title for a second successive season and maintain their strong momentum at the top of the competition.

Al-Ettifaq have also collected maximum points from their first two matches, beating Al-Riyadh and Al-Fateh. They will hope home advantage and the support of their own fans can help them take a positive result against one of the leading contenders for the championship.

The meeting therefore brings together two teams with identical records at the start of the season. Both will be seeking a third consecutive victory in what is expected to be an open contest between sides that have made a faultless beginning to their league campaigns.

How to watch Al-Ettifaq v Al-Nassr

The match will be available to watch through the Thmanyah network.

Thmanyah has launched its own application, allowing viewers to follow Al-Ettifaq v Al-Nassr online. The match will also feature commentary from Fares Awad and Jaafar Al-Saleh.

Kick-off is scheduled for 21:00 Saudi Arabia time and 22:00 in the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday, 25 August. The fixture will take place at EGO Stadium.

With both teams having won their opening two games, the result could provide an early indication of their credentials in the title race. Al-Nassr arrive as the current champions, while Al-Ettifaq will be looking to use their home setting to challenge one of the competition’s most prominent sides.

The source article says manager Ange Postecoglou is expected to select from the available squad for the fixture, but it does not provide a starting line-up.
