Al Hilal, Al Nassr and Saudi Roshn League derby dates outlined

Provisional dates have been revealed for the Saudi Roshn League’s major derbies and clasicos, including meetings involving Al Hilal, Al Nassr, Al Ittihad and Al Ahli, after a draft schedule was published through to the end of the current season.

Reports have detailed the fixture plan prepared by the Saudi Roshn League Association following the postponement of the 2027 AFC Asian Cup until the end of next year. The schedule remains provisional, and some fixtures have yet to be assigned proposed dates.

The first match between the four leading clubs is set to be the Jeddah derby between Al Ittihad and Al Ahli. It is scheduled to take place at Alinma Stadium during the 15th round, between 10 and 12 December next.

The Riyadh derby will follow in the 17th round, with Al Nassr hosting Al Hilal at Al Awal Park on one of 31 December, 1 January or 2 January.

The first clasico of next year is scheduled for the 20th round between Al Ahli and Al Hilal. Their meeting at Alinma Stadium is due to be played between 21 and 23 January.

Another clasico will be held in the 22nd round, when Al Nassr face Al Ittihad at Al Awal Park on one of 4, 5 or 6 February.

Al Ittihad and Al Hilal will meet for a third clasico at Alinma Stadium in Jeddah during the 25th round. That fixture is scheduled for between 25 and 27 February.

The final clasico of the current season is expected between 11 and 13 March, when Al Nassr play Al Ahli at Al Awal Park in the 26th round.

The schedule then includes another Jeddah derby between Al Ahli and Al Ittihad. It is due to be staged at Alinma Stadium between 12 and 14 May, in the 32nd round.

The season’s final Riyadh derby will see Al Hilal meet Al Nassr at Kingdom Arena on 28 May, during the final round of the competition.

However, proposed dates have not yet been announced for several postponed matches from the 10th round. Among the outstanding fixtures is the clasico between Al Ahli and Al Nassr.
