The 2019–20 Saudi Professional League was the 44th edition of the Saudi Pro League, the top Saudi professional league for association football clubs, since its establishment in 1976. The season started on 22 August 2019 and concluded on 9 September 2020.[3]

Al-Nassr were the defending champions. The league was contested by the top 13 teams from the 2018–19 season as well as Abha, Damac, and Al-Adalah, who joined as the three promoted clubs from the 2018–19 Prince Mohammad bin Salman League. They replace Ohod, Al-Batin and Al-Qadsiah who were relegated to the 2019–20 Prince Mohammad bin Salman League.[4]

On 7 March 2020, the Ministry of Sports announced that all matches would be played behind closed doors until further notice.[2] On 14 March 2020, the Ministry suspended all sports competitions indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Saudi Arabia.[5] On 11 June 2020, the Ministry of Sports announced the resumption of sports activities with training starting on 21 June and games starting after 4 August 2020 and played behind closed doors.[6] On 1 July 2020, the schedule for the remaining matches was released. It was announced that the league would resume on 4 August 2020 and end on 9 September 2020.[7]

On 29 August 2020, Al-Hilal won the league for a record 16th time with two matches remaining, after defeating Al-Hazem 4–1.[8] Al-Adalah were the first team to be relegated following a 1–1 home draw with Al-Raed on 29 August 2020.[9] On 4 September 2020, Al-Hazem were relegated following a 1–0 defeat away to Al-Shabab.[10] Al-Fayha were the third and final team to be relegated following a 1–0 defeat away to Al-Taawoun in the final matchday.[11]

On June 9, 2019, the Saudi FF announced that the number of foreign players was reduced from 8 players to 7 players.[12] In addition, they announced that clubs could no longer sign players on amateurs contracts and that the squad size will be increased to 30 players.[13] On 20 August 2019, the Saudi FF announced that relegation play-off between the 13th placed team of the Pro League and the 4th placed team of the MS League was cancelled.[14]

The second team to be promoted was Damac, in spite of their 1–0 defeat away to Al-Tai, on 5 May 2019.[17] Damac will play in the top flight of Saudi football for the first time since 1982 when both the Pro League and First Division were merged into one league.[18]

Positions by round

[edit]

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 to the round at which they were originally scheduled but added to the full round they were played immediately afterward. If a club from the Saudi Professional League wins the King Cup, they will qualify for the AFC Champions League, unless they have already qualified for it through their league position. In this case, an additional AFC Champions League group stage berth will be given to the 3rd placed team, and the AFC Champions League play-off round spot will be given to 4th.
