Overview edit

Changes edit

On 14 April 2022, the Saudi FF announced that the number of teams would increase to 18 starting from the 2023–24 season. Therefore, only two teams would be relegated from the 2022–23 Saudi Professional League instead of the usual three, and four teams would be promoted from the 2022–23 Saudi First Division League.[7]

In June 2023, the Public Investment Fund acquired a 75% stake in Al-Ahli, Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr.[8]

Teams edit

18 teams will compete in the league – the top 14 teams from the previous season and the 4 teams promoted from the FD League.

Al-Okhdood became the 37th side to participate in the Saudi Pro League since its inception.

The third club to be promoted was Al-Riyadh who were promoted following a 1–0 home win against Al-Orobah on 16 May 2023.[12] Al-Riyadh return to the top flight for the first time since getting relegated in the 2004–05 season. Al-Riyadh will play in their 24th season in the top flight.
