The first season of the Saudi Premier League was the 1976–77 season. The league operated as a round-robin tournament from its inaugural season until the 1989–90 season. After that, the Saudi Federation decided to merge the football league with the King’s Cup into one tournament, adding the Golden Box.
The Golden Box was an end-of-season knockout competition played between the top four teams of the regular league season. Subsequently, these teams would compete in a semi-final stage to crown the champions of Saudi Arabia. The league reverted to a round-robin system in 2007 and was rebranded as the Saudi Pro League in 2008.
The association is also regularly ranked with the highest coefficient in Asia due to the successful and consistent performances in the AFC Champions League Elite, Asian Super Cup & Asian Cup Winners’ Cup by its clubs.
Al-Hilal is the most successful team, holding 19 titles and most recently winning the title in 2023–24. Al-Shabab, Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr are also some of the most successful teams in the league.
Beginning in 2023, the league started experiencing widespread international exposure. This was due to attracting numerous top level players from European leagues through financially lucrative contracts, immediately becoming a star-studded league. The nation’s Public Investment Fund took 75% stakes in four founding members (Al-Ahli, Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal, and Al-Nassr) in the same year as part of the Saudi Vision 2030 program.
