The Saudi Professional League has announced the schedule of the Roshen League matches for the new season 2025-2026, which begins on August 28, amid a careful organization that takes into account the local and international calendar and the stopping periods to ensure the fairness of competition between clubs.
The mechanism for preparing the league table

It has also been determined that each team plays 9 games at home and 8 outside it in one of the two rounds, or vice versa, while ensuring a minimum rest between the matches at least two days.
What criteria that the association took into account?
The Rosania of the International Football Association (FIFA) and the continental and regional championships were taken into account to avoid the conflict of dates, in addition to periodic maintenance of the stadiums and winter agriculture periods, while ensuring the comfort of the clubs participating in more than one championship.
