Roshn Saudi League Standings April 2026

Al-Nassr have powered their way to the summit. After a Kingsley Coman-inspired 1-0 win over Al-Ettifaq in Matchweek 29, the Yellow Boys lead the Roshn Saudi League by eight clear points. Ronaldo’s side even with the captain managing fitness issues look like champions-in-waiting.

Al-hilal-players-on-celebration

Al-Hilal sit second with a 24-match unbeaten run the longest in the 2025/26 season cementing their status as the most consistent side in Saudi football this year. Al-Ahli remain third, still with eyes on the domestic title while Riyad Mahrez leads their remarkable AFC Champions League Elite charge.

The Title Race: Al-Nassr vs The Field

Cristiano Ronaldo and Kingsley Coman have been the driving force of Al-Nassr’s surge. Despite Ronaldo playing through illness in recent weeks, the club’s squad depth has proven decisive their early-season record of winning their first 10 SPL matches set the tone for a historic campaign.

Al-Nassr’s eight-point lead means they could mathematically confirm the title as early as May if results go their way. The April 29 fixture against Al-Ahli at Al-Awwal Park is the defining moment of the run-in. A win for Al-Nassr would all but end the title conversation.

Arkadag vs Al-Nassr AFC game

Al-Hilal, under their relentless tactical system, remain dangerous. Their 6-0 demolition of Al-Kholood in April and a 24-match unbeaten run shows Jorge Jesus’s side have the firepower Neymar’s fitness and Kalidou Koulibaly’s defensive authority are key variables in the closing weeks.

For Al-Ahli, the Champions League double means squad rotation is non-negotiable. Ivan Toney the league’s top scorer with 23 goals must carry the attacking burden across two major competitions. The Jeddah side’s AFC Champions League Final appearance makes them the SPL’s most exciting story of 2026.

2Cristiano RonaldoAl-Nassr19
3Julián QuiñonesAl-Qadsiah17
4Aleksandar MitrovićAl-Hilal16
5Moussa DiabyAl-Ittihad14

Ivan Toney has been one of the SPL’s most impactful imports. The England striker has redefined Al-Ahli’s attack since arriving from Brentford his 23-goal haul in 27 appearances is the benchmark for every attacker in the division.

Ronaldo, despite his much-publicised contract dispute earlier in the season, is second on the charts. For all the noise around his situation at Al-Nassr, he remains the league’s most watched and most consequential individual.

Riyadh Clubs: What to Watch

Al-Nassr Champions in Waiting

Al-Nassr play their football at Al-Awwal Park (Mrsool Park) in Riyadh. With the title almost in touching distance, demand for matchday tickets has surged. The upcoming clash against Al-Ahli on April 29 is the season’s must-see Riyadh fixture.

Al-Hilal The Unbeaten Blue Wave

Al-Hilal’s home at Kingdom Arena hosts one of the SPL’s most atmospheric matchday experiences. The April 28 fixture against Damac is a chance for Al-Hilal to keep the pressure on Al-Nassr. Kingdom Arena capacity stands at 26,090 — and big games sell fast.

Al-Shabab & Al-Riyadh Capital’s Other Sides

Both Al-Shabab and Al-Riyadh play their home games at SHG Arena. Al-Shabab’s upcoming home clash with league leaders Al-Nassr (May 7) is a fixture to watch for neutral Riyadh fans — the visitors will be chasing a title-clinching three points.

The Bigger Picture: Saudi Football and Vision 2030

The 2025/26 Roshn Saudi League is the 69th edition of Saudi top-flight football and its most globally scrutinised. The PIF-backed transformation of Saudi club football has attracted world-class players, coaches, and commercial investment that has fundamentally shifted the sport’s centre of gravity.

All four PIF clubs Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal, Al-Ahli, and Al-Ittihad are competing on two fronts simultaneously. Al-Ahli and Al-Ittihad both reached the AFC Champions League Elite Finals, a milestone that underlines Saudi Arabia’s growing continental dominance.

The league’s expansion to 18 teams this season has also introduced Neom SC to top-flight football for the first time in history, a club that represents the futuristic Tabuk Province development and Vision 2030’s ambition to transform Saudi sport beyond Riyadh and Jeddah.

With the FIFA World Cup 2026 months away, the SPL’s showcase of global talent from Ronaldo to Benzema, Toney to Mahrez is simultaneously a sporting competition and a geopolitical statement about Saudi Arabia’s place in world sport.

Relegation Battle Who’s Going Down?

At the bottom of the table, Al-Najma, Al-Hazem, and Al-Kholood are fighting to stay in the Roshn Saudi League. Al-Najma’s return to the top flight after 23 years has been brutal. They hold the unwanted record of a 20-match winless run and an 8-match losing streak this season.

With three matchweeks remaining, every bottom-half fixture has massive survival implications. The April 23 clash between Al-Najma and Al-Taawoun is effectively a relegation six-pointer.
