SPL confirms schedule for RSL run-in | OneFootball

The Saudi Pro League has announced the fixture schedule for Matchweeks 30, 31 and 32 of the 2025-26 Roshn Saudi League, alongside a series of adjustments to previously postponed matches.

The updates come in response to scheduling changes in the AFC Champions League Elite and AFC Champions League Two, with several Roshn Saudi League (RSL) clubs competing in continental competitions.

Following a review of all available scenarios, the Saudi Pro League (SPL) Competitions Department confirmed the revised schedule was finalised in coordination with the relevant clubs.

The aim is to support Saudi representatives on the continental stage while maintaining competitive balance across the domestic calendar and ensuring appropriate rest periods for all teams.

As part of the changes, two postponed fixtures from Matchweek 28 have been reassigned, with Al Khaleej now facing Al Hilal on May 5, 2026, while Al Ahli host Al Fateh on May 6.

Meanwhile, the postponed Matchweek 28 clash between Al Shabab and Al Ittihad has been scheduled for May 17.

Also, also Al Shabab’s Matchweek 33 encounter with RSL leaders Al Nassr has been brought forward to May 7 to meet minimum rest-period requirements.

However, should Al Nassr not progress in the AFC Champions League Two - they contest the quarter-finals on Sunday in Dubai against UAE side Al Wasl - the match will revert to its original date of May 16.

In addition, the Al Shabab home match with Al Ittihad will then be played on May 7, in line with a previously approved alternative date.

For logistical reasons, all RSL matches in Jeddah involving Al Ahli and Al Ittihad between May 3 and May 10 will be held at Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Stadium.

The SPL reaffirmed its commitment to working closely with all stakeholders to deliver a well-balanced schedule that aligns domestic competition with international commitments, supporting the continued growth and profile of the RSL.
