Al-Ittihad were 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. The league now has 18 teams for the first time as opposed to the 16 teams of prior seasons.[6]

On 11 May, Al-Hilal secured their record-extending nineteenth league title, with three games to spare, following a 4–1 away win against Al-Hazem, and then they completed the unbeaten season 16 days later.[7][8][9][10] Coincidentally, Al-Hazem were the first team to be relegated following that 4–1 home defeat.[11] In the final matchday, both Abha and Al-Tai were relegated following defeats to Al-Hazem and Al-Okhdood respectively.[12]

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 Pro League instead of the usual three, and four teams would be promoted from the 2022–23 Saudi First Division League.[13]

In June 2023, the Public Investment Fund acquired a 75% stake in Al-Ahli, Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr.[14]
