The Saudi Pro League (SPL), also known as the Roshn Saudi League (RSL) for sponsorship reasons, is a professional association football league in Saudi Arabia and the highest tier of the Saudi football league system. The SPL is regarded as the premier football league in Asia, having the highest ranking among AFC club competitions.
Al-Hilal is the most successful club in the top-tier Saudi football league, amassing a record 21 titles, with their latest triumph in the 2023–24 season. Other prominent clubs, such as Al-Shabab, Al-Ittihad, and Al-Nassr, have contributed significantly to the league's history. Since 2023, the SPL has achieved greater global recognition, fueled by strategic developments under the Saudi Vision 2030 initiative. The nation's Public Investment Fund acquired 75% stakes in four foundational clubs—Al-Ahli, Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal, and Al-Nassr, investing large amounts of money to bring players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar and Karim Benzema to the league. These efforts have increased the prominence of the SPL in world football.
As of 2025, depending on the nation's AFC club competition coefficient, three teams from Saudi Arabia qualify annually for the AFC Champions League Elite, Asia's top-tier continental club competition (equivalent in tier to the UEFA Champions League in Europe). The winner of the King's Cup qualifies for the AFC Champions League Two, the second-tier continental competition (equivalent in tier to the UEFA Europa League). If the King's Cup winner has already qualified for the AFC Champions League Elite through their league position, the fourth-placed team in the league qualifies for the AFC Champions League Two instead.
