The expectation is for another high-intensity campaign in the domestic competition, which continues to command significant worldwide interest.

Al Nassr go into the 2026-27 season as defending champions, having secured last year’s Roshn Saudi League title under the leadership of Cristiano Ronaldo. On the continental stage, Al Ahli arrive as newly crowned Asian champions after winning the top club competition in Asia last season.
