Al Nassr sit at the top of the Saudi Pro League after Matchday 3 of the 2026–27 season, holding a perfect record of three wins from three matches for a total of nine points.
The Riyadh club has also posted the strongest goal record so far, scoring 10 goals and conceding just two for a goal difference of +8. Their run includes both a home win and an away win, giving them a clear early advantage at the summit.
Al Ittihad occupy second place with seven points, remaining unbeaten after three matches but sitting two points behind the leaders after fewer wins. Al Hilal and Al Ahli round out the top positions, both close on points and separated mainly by goal difference and results across the opening rounds.
How the standings work
The Saudi Pro League features 18 clubs in the top division, with three points awarded for a win, one for a draw and none for a defeat. When teams are level on points, positions are decided first by goal difference and then by goals scored.
For fans across Riyadh, Jeddah and beyond, the early standings offer a first read on the season's title race. With only three matches played, the table remains open, but Al Nassr's unbeaten start and heavy goal tally have set an early benchmark for the chasing clubs to match.
