Big Matches to Watch: Rivalries That Define the Season
While every fixture matters in a title defence, a handful of games will decide whether Al-Nassr and Ronaldo can go back-to-back as Saudi Pro League champions and finally add the AFC Champions League Elite trophy to the collection.
Al-Ittihad — The Saudi Clasico: Al-Nassr's trip to Jeddah is always one of the most fiercely contested fixtures on the calendar, and this rivalry only intensifies with both clubs assembling star-studded squads season after season. The reverse fixture at Al-Awwal Park later in the campaign will carry significant title implications.
Al-Hilal — The Riyadh Derby: No fixture in Saudi football carries more weight than Al-Nassr against Al-Hilal. With Al-Hilal having finished 2025/26 as runners-up on a remarkable 24-match unbeaten run, this season's meetings are expected to be crucial in deciding the destination of the title.
Al-Ahli — Defending Continental Champions: Al-Ahli enter the season as back-to-back AFC Champions League Elite winners, and with both clubs occupying Level A of the Saudi Pro League's tiered fixture structure, this clash carries weight both domestically and as a measuring stick for continental ambitions.
AFC Champions League Elite Knockout Stages: Having fallen at the semi-final stage of the Elite tournament in 2024/25 and lost last season's AFC Champions League Two final, Al-Nassr and Ronaldo will treat every knockout fixture from March onward as must-win business on the road to a first continental title together.

Q5: When are the AFC Champions League Elite knockout rounds? The Round of 16 is scheduled for March 1-17, 2027, with the quarter-finals through the final centralized in Saudi Arabia between April 23 and May 1, 2027.
