The Saudi Pro League has become one of the fastest-growing football competitions in recent years. With the arrival of global stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and high-profile managers taking charge of top sides, the league is gaining attention from fans worldwide.
But long before the international spotlight, the Saudi Pro League already had a rich history.
In this article, we take a closer look at how many teams have won the Saudi Pro League, how you can watch it from anywhere, and who holds the records for most titles as a foreign player.
How Many Teams Have Won the Saudi Pro League?
)
Since the league’s inception in 1976, nine different teams have lifted the Saudi Pro League trophy. While the number might not sound huge, the competition has been anything but predictable. Here are the clubs that have their names in the Saudi football history:
Al-Hilal – The undisputed kings of Saudi football, Al-Hilal have won the league 18 times as of 2025. Their dominance spans decades, and they have remained competitive even in the modern, big-money era.
Al-Ittihad – Based in Jeddah, Al-Ittihad have secured the title nine times, most recently in the 2022-23 season. They have been a strong force both domestically and in the AFC Champions League.
Al-Nassr – Known globally thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo’s arrival, Al-Nassr have won the league nine times too. Their last title came in the 2018-19 season, though they are constantly in the mix for top honours.
Al-Shabab – With six league titles, Al-Shabab were particularly strong in the 90s and early 2000s.
Al-Ettifaq – The Dammam-based club has won the title twice, in 1982-83 and 1986-87.
Al-Ahli – Another Jeddah club, Al-Ahli have won the title three times, with their most recent triumph in 2015-16.
Al-Fateh – One of the league’s biggest surprises, Al-Fateh won the title in the 2012-13 season in what was a remarkable underdog story.
Al-Nahda – A name from the past, Al-Nahda were champions in the early regional league days.
Al-Hazm – A rare addition to the list, Al-Hazm’s title win came during the early experimental league seasons.

How to Watch the Saudi Pro League
Interest in the Saudi Pro League has surged since the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Ngolo Kante, and other top-tier talents. Luckily, the league’s broadcasters have kept up with demand.
If you are watching inside Saudi Arabia, you can catch matches on SSC (Saudi Sports Company) channels. These are available on platforms like Shahid and STC’s TV packages.
For international viewers, streaming is more accessible than ever:
Shahid VIP offers live streaming of matches across several regions, including Europe, North America, and parts of Asia. A subscription is required, but it's reliable and has English commentary.
DAZN has secured rights in a few European countries, especially where there’s strong interest in players like Ronaldo and Benzema.
In the UK, matches are often shown live on Shahid’s platform, and select games are also aired on TNT Sports.
In the USA, fans can stream the games on Shahid as well or check for deals through ESPN+ and other sports aggregators.
Most major matches, especially those involving Al-Hilal or Al-Nassr, are available with full highlights on YouTube or the league’s official social media accounts.
The league is still building its global presence, so coverage continues to expand season by season.
Which Foreign Player Has Won the Most Saudi Pro League Titles?
)
Bafétimbi Gomis, the French striker, helped Al-Hilal to three league titles in 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22.
Syrian forward Omar Khribin holds the distinction of being the foreign player with the most Saudi Pro League titles, having won four league championships with Al-Hilal during that same era.
How Many Saudi Pro League Titles Has Cristiano Ronaldo Won?
)
As of May 2025, Cristiano Ronaldo has not yet won a Saudi Pro League title. He joined Al-Nassr in January 2023, halfway through the 2022-23 season, and they finished second that year, behind Al-Ittihad.
In the following 2023-24 season, Ronaldo led the league in goals, but Al-Hilal clinched the title. The current 2024-25 season is ongoing, and while Al-Nassr are contenders, Ronaldo is still chasing his first piece of Saudi silverware.
Despite not winning the league, his arrival has had a major impact, both commercially and competitively. His presence has attracted more stars to the league, raised viewership numbers, and helped turn Al-Nassr into a truly global brand.
