Riyadh Season Autumn Sports Line-Up Revealed

Organizers in Riyadh have lined up a packed autumn calendar of sports, esports, and cultural events as part of Riyadh Season 2025–2026, aiming to draw more domestic and international visitors to the capital. The Season runs from 10 October 2025 until early May 2026 across multiple zones, with activities continuing into autumn 2026 in venues such as Boulevard Riyadh City and other themed areas.

This edition has already reported more than 11 to 14 million visitors by early to mid-2026, cementing its role as a leading driver of tourism in Riyadh. The sports program opens in October with the Six Kings Slam tennis event at ANB Arena, featuring top ATP players and targeting regional and international fans.

The early-autumn sports schedule also includes the WBC Boxing Grand Prix semi-finals at The Venue, the Kings Cup MENA seven-a-side football tournament, and the Longines Global Champions Tour equestrian competition, all set for late October and early November.

Tickets and timings

Most major events and attractions use paid tickets. General admission for concerts, sports nights, and themed experiences commonly starts between SAR 50 and SAR 150 with premium and hospitality categories priced higher. Most tickets are single-day or single-event passes and are non-refundable unless the event is officially cancelled.

For large venues such as Boulevard Riyadh City and Boulevard World, zone entry often uses dynamic pricing based on the day and event load, with standard access commonly in the SAR 25 to SAR 85 band. Rides, games, and experiences are typically priced between SAR 20 and SAR 80

Tickets are bought through official online platforms and mobile apps linked to national digital ID and payment systems, with users authenticating via نفاذ and paying by Mada or other approved methods. QR-code tickets are scanned at venue entry. Most events operate evening and night hours, typically opening around 4 to 5 pm and running past midnight, especially on weekends and public holidays.
