The Saudi Pro League fixture between Al Riyadh and Al Hilal has been rescheduled, with the match now set for December 19, 2026, instead of its original date of October 16, 2026. The game will be played at Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium in Riyadh, with kickoff listed at 17:45 Saudi time.
The change moves one of the season's notable Riyadh matchups later into the calendar, giving fans a new date to mark. The venue and city remain unchanged, keeping the fixture in the capital for local supporters.
For residents planning to attend, the confirmed details are straightforward: the match takes place at Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium, kicking off at 17:45. Supporters who had made arrangements around the earlier October date will need to update their plans accordingly.
Schedule adjustments of this kind are common across a long league season, and the updated date offers clarity for ticket holders and families organizing their weekend outings. Fans are advised to keep an eye on official timing closer to the match, as kickoff hours can occasionally be confirmed in the lead-up.
With both clubs drawing strong followings in the capital, the rescheduled meeting is expected to remain a key attraction for football audiences in Riyadh when it takes place in December.
