ar- العربية The Roshn Pro League (RSL) is gearing up for its return on Thursday, August 22, promising a season brimming with excitement. Fans can look forward to 306 exhilarating matches over 34 game weeks, featuring the reigning champions Al Hilal and other leading Saudi football teams.
Previously known as the Saudi Pro League, the RSL will unveil its new “magic rounds” this season, where local derbies will be a major highlight across the Kingdom. Prepare to cheer on stars like Neymar, Karim Benzema, and Cristiano Ronaldo as they hit the pitch.
The Saudi Pro League is the premier football division in Saudi Arabia, offering thrilling matches and intense competition since its founding in 1977. The league comprises 18 clubs, each playing a double round-robin format from August to May, with each team facing every other team twice—once at home and once away. Teams accumulate three points for a victory, one for a draw, and none for a defeat.
Since 2022, the league has been officially branded as the Roshn Pro League, following the title sponsorship by the real estate division of the Public Investment Fund (PIF). All matches are now held under the RSL name.
The new season will kick off on Thursday, August 22, with Al Hilal taking on Al Okhdood in the first round. The league will run for 34 weeks until May 2025, with a minimum of two rest days between matches.
The season will have a break during the final ten days of Ramadan, with matches resuming afterward. For those eager to catch the action or track their favorite team’s schedule, the complete 2024-2025 Saudi Pro League schedule is available, beginning with the opening week on Thursday, August 22.
Tickets for the Saudi Pro League games are anticipated to be highly sought after, so be sure not to miss out on seeing your favorite stars in action.
