The 2023–24 Saudi Pro League (known as the Roshn Saudi League for sponsorship reasons) is the 48th edition of the Saudi Professional League, the top Saudi professional league for association football clubs, since its establishment in 1976. Fixtures for the 2023–24 season were announced on 15 July 2023.[3]

Al-Ittihad are the defending champions after winning their 9th title last season.[4] Al-Ahli, Al-Hazem, Al-Okhdood, and Al-Riyadh join as the four promoted clubs.[5] They replaced Al-Adalah and Al-Batin who were relegated to the 2023–24 Yelo League.

Overview

Changes

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.[6]

In June 2023, the Public Investment Fund acquired a 75% stake in Al-Ahli, Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr.[7]

Teams

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

Teams who were promoted to the Pro League

On 5 May 2023, Al-Ahli became the first team to be promoted following Al-Faisaly's 2–2 draw with Najran.[8] They were crowned champions following a 1–0 win against Al-Qadsiah on 23 May 2023.[9] Al-Ahli will play in the top flight of Saudi football after a season's absence and will play in their 47th season in the top flight.

The second club to be promoted was Al-Okhdood who were promoted after Al-Faisaly's 2–2 draw with Jeddah on 15 May 2023.[10] Al-Okhdood will play in the top flight of Saudi football for the first time in history. 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.[11] 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.

The fourth and final club to be promoted was Al-Hazem who were promoted following a 3–2 win against Al-Sahel on 17 May 2023.[12] Al-Hazem will play in the top flight of Saudi football after a season's absence and will play in their 10th season in the top flight.

Teams who were relegated to the FD League

Al-Batin were the first club to be relegated following a 1–0 defeat away to Al-Ittihad on 23 May 2023.[13] Al-Batin were relegated after three years in the top flight.

Al-Adalah were the second and final club to be relegated following a 2–0 home defeat to Al-Ettifaq on the final matchday.[14] Al-Adalah were relegated after just one year in the top flight.
