Saudi Pro League reschedules matches and sets cup tournament dates

The Roshn Saudi League has officially adjusted its competition calendar, rescheduling the eighth, ninth, and tenth rounds. This decision follows a request to extend the preparation period for the Saudi national team ahead of the "Gulf 27" tournament, while also aiming to manage player fatigue and rest periods more effectively.

Under the new schedule, the eighth round will now take place from October 9-11, the ninth round from October 15-17, and the tenth round from October 18-20. Additionally, the start of the eleventh round has been pushed to October 23. These adjustments affect key fixtures, including the Al-Hilal vs. Al-Ittihad clash and the Al-Ahli vs. Al-Nassr match.

The Saudi Arabian Football Federation has also confirmed the schedule for the King's Cup. The round of 16 is set for November 30 and December 1, 2026, followed by quarter-finals on February 22-23, 2027, and semi-finals on May 4-5, 2027.

Official dates for the Saudi Super Cup have also been settled. The semi-finals will be held on December 19 and 20, 2026, with the final scheduled for December 23. These updates are intended to provide clubs with a more predictable season outlook amidst a busy calendar of domestic and international commitments.
