Ramadan Derby Sparks the Saudi Pro League Schedule Shuffle
The Saudi Pro League has released eight rounds for the season’s middle stretch, from round three to 29, including a postponed Round 10. The marquee event is the Jeddah Derby between Al Ahli and Al Ittihad on March 6, 2026, played during Ramadan at Al Enma Stadium. All league games in Ramadan kick off at 10 PM Mecca time, with Enma hosting the Derby and some fixtures moved to alternate venues due to maintenance. The league emphasizes late evening kickoffs to fit fasting schedules while keeping fans engaged.
