Saudi King’s Cup

The Saudi King’s Cup, officially the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup, is Saudi Arabia’s premier knockout tournament established in 1957, featuring 32 teams from the Saudi Pro League and First Division in a thrilling single-elimination format with massive upsets possible. Giants like Al-Hilal (record 9 titles), Al-Ahli, and Al-Ittihad (defending champions) dominate, but the 2025–26 edition—live now in Round of 16 with clashes like Al-Nassr vs Al-Ittihad—awards the winner a spot in the AFC Champions League Two.
