Al Riyadh to host Al Nassr in Saudi Pro League matchweek 2 at Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium on August 21
Al Riyadh will host Al Nassr at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium in Riyadh in a matchweek 2 fixture of the Saudi Pro League 2026-27, with kick-off scheduled for 09:30 p.m. IST on Friday, August 21. The fixture pits the home side against the reigning title holders early in the season.
Al Riyadh enter the game under Maurício Dulac and will have home advantage after a 2-4 loss to Al Ettifaq in their opening match, in which the hosts were outplayed in the final moments and conceded two goals. Dulac’s side will be looking to return to winning ways, and the report notes their recent record against the Big Yellow has been poor.
Al Nassr begin the defence of their Saudi Pro League crown having opened with a 3-0 victory over Al Fateh in their first league match of the 2026-27 season. The win came under manager Ange Postecoglou as the club seeks a second straight domestic title.
Cristiano Ronaldo missed the first two games of the new season for Al Nassr and is most likely to start for them against Al Riyadh. It is going to be interesting to see their performances with CR7 in the lineup.
Broadcast arrangements for the match include live streaming on the FanCode app and website for viewers in India, while DAZN will show all matches live. In Saudi Arabia the fixture will be available on the Thmanyah platform, and viewers in the USA can watch on Fox Soccer Plus, FuboTV, FOX Deportes, and FOX One.
