Saudi Pro League to hold four rounds in January

The Saudi Pro League is preparing to hold four rounds of matches during January following the rescheduling of the Asian Cup to December 2027. According to the updated season calendar, rounds 18, 19, 20, and 21 will take place during this period, marking the start of the second half of the season.

The Saudi Pro League management recently held a workshop with club representatives to discuss the 2026-2027 season schedule. The proposed plan includes resuming competition with round 13 starting on November 26, once clubs complete their external tournament commitments.

Discussions also addressed the scheduling of postponed matches for several clubs, including Al Hilal, Al Nassr, Al Ittihad, Al Ahli, Al Shabab, Al Kholood, Al Riyadh, and Abha. Proposals include playing postponed ninth-round matches, such as Al Ahli versus Al Nassr and Al Riyadh versus Al Hilal, following the current international break.
