Al Hilal's Historic Win Streak: A Second 20-Win Milestone Shakes the Saudi Pro League
19 January 2026
Match recap
The leader shines on Saudi football's sky.
Al Hilal repeated its historic mark with a string of consecutive wins after beating Neom 2-1 on Sunday, closing Round 16 of the Roshan Saudi League in a dramatic late rally. Fans spilled into streets celebrating this historic run.
Al Hilal rose to 41 points atop the Roshan League, seven clear of its nearest challenger, underscoring its drive to clinch the title and energizing both locker room and supporters.
The mark lies in reaching 20 consecutive wins in a row across domestic and continental competitions, for the second time.
Hilal has previously reached 34 straight wins across competitions—the highest global club record in football history.
No Saudi club has 20 straight wins, except Hilal; Al Nassr had 18 in one stretch—the biggest such record among Saudi clubs to date.
And Hilal prepares to face Al-Fayha on Thursday evening, in Round 17 of Roshan League as the title race intensifies.
Looking ahead
Next up, Hilal aims to widen the gap and keep the dream of lifting the crown very much alive.
Punchline 1: The trophy will need a bigger shelf.
Punchline 2: Even the locker room muttered, "Bring popcorn—the title race is not over yet".
