The King’s Cup is the second-oldest knockout competition in Saudi football, founded in 1957 as the His Majesty’s Cup (also known as the King Cup) and staged annually until 1990. It was relaunched in 2008 under the title King Cup of Champions, with the top six finishers from the Saudi Premier League plus the champions of the Saudi Crown Prince Cup and the Saudi Federation Cup taking part. In 2014 the tournament reverted to a larger knockout format closer to its original structure. The 2026-27 King’s Cup is the 39th edition since its inception in 1966 and the 20th since the competition’s renewal in 2008.
