Al Nassr FC will have the chance to clinch the Saudi Pro League title on Thursday 21st May 2026 when they host Damac FC at Alawwal Park in Riyadh, Date confirmed by Al nassr via a post made on their official x handle.
A dramatic 1–1 draw against Al Hilal SFC last week kept Al-Nassr two points clear at the top of the table, meaning victory on the final day would secure their first league title since the 2018–19 season and the 11th championship in club history.
Al Hilal SFC head into the final day of the Saudi Pro League season knowing only victory will keep their title hopes alive when they face Al Fayha FC at King Salman Sports City Stadium.
Despite conceding a late equaliser in the title showdown, Jorge Jesus’s side remain in control of their destiny and head into the clash unbeaten in their last nine home league games, winning eight of those matches.
Al-Nassr have also been relentless in attack throughout the campaign, avoiding a single league blank this season. Their dominance over Damac adds further confidence, having won each of the last nine Saudi Pro League meetings between the two sides, including four consecutive home victories.
However, the pressure remains intense after several dropped points at home in recent weeks, raising concerns that nerves could play a role on the decisive night.
Meanwhile, Damac arrive in Riyadh fighting for survival. Fábio Carille’s side sit just above the relegation zone and know that a positive result could secure their top-flight status for another season.
Although Damac have struggled against the league’s strongest sides this season, they will take encouragement from the fact that several recent meetings with Al-Nassr have been decided by narrow margins.
With the title and relegation battle both on the line, the final day clash promises to be one of the most dramatic matches of the Saudi Pro League season.
