The 2024–25 Saudi Pro League (known as the Roshn Saudi League for sponsorship reasons) is the 49th edition of the Saudi Professional League, the top Saudi professional league for association football clubs, since its establishment in 1976.
Al-Hilal are the defending champions, having won their record-extending 19th title last season.[1] Al-Kholood, Al-Orobah, and Al-Qadsiah join as the three promoted clubs.[2] They replaced Abha, Al-Hazem, and Al-Tai who were relegated to the 2024–25 Saudi First Division League.
Starting this season, each club can have a squad of 25 players with ten foreigners; eight of them can be of any age, and two must be under 21 at the time of signing. 15 Saudi players of any age, and five can be called up from the youth sector if needed or wanted. For each league match, managers can select eight of the ten foreigners to be included in the squad.
Unlike the previous years where the goal of the week was voted on Twitter (now) with no physical award, starting this season the voting is held at the league website with awards for the winners presented by BSF, one of the league sponsors, and two new awards were announced, which are the skill of the week and save of the week, with the voting also being at the league website. However, these new awards have been inconsistent; some weeks there's voting, some there is not.
18 teams will compete in the league – the top 15 teams from the previous season and the 3 teams promoted from the FD League.
On 6 May 2024, Al-Qadsiah became the first team to be promoted following a 2–2 draw with Ohod.[3] They were crowned champions following a 4–2 win against Al-Najma on 13 May 2024.[4] Al-Qadsiah return to the top flight after an absence of three seasons and will play in their 37th season in the top flight.
On 21 May 2024, Al-Kholood and Al-Orobah became the final two clubs to be promoted. Al-Kholood were promoted following a 5–1 win against Al-Safa.[5] Al-Kholood will play in the top flight of Saudi football for the first time in history and will be the 38th side to participate in the Saudi Pro League since its inception.
Al-Orobah were promoted following a 1–0 win against Al-Jabalain.[6] Al-Orobah return to the top flight for the first time since getting relegated in the 2014–15 season and will play in their 3rd season in the top flight.
Al-Hazem were the first team to be relegated following a 4–1 home defeat to Al-Hilal on 11 May 2024.[7] Al-Hazem were relegated after just one year in the top flight. This was their third relegation in five years.
Both Abha and Al-Tai were relegated on the final day of the season. Abha were relegated following a 2–1 defeat away to Al-Hazem.[8] Abha were relegated after five consecutive seasons in the Pro League.
Al-Tai were relegated following a 2–0 home defeat to Al-Okhdood.[9] Al-Tai were relegated after three consecutive seasons in the top flight.

On 29 December 2023, the Saudi Arabian Football Federation increased the amount of foreign players a club can register to ten, with eight players of any age and two players required to be aged 21 or younger. For league matches, clubs can only designate eight players as available for every match throughout the season but can designate ten as available for the King Cup and Super Cup.[26]
The following table lists the positions of teams after each week of matches. In order to preserve the chronological evolution, any postponed matches are not included in the round at which they were originally scheduled but added to the full round they were played immediately afterward.
