Matchday 3 of the Saudi Pro League begins with games on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Five teams start the season with perfect records, all holding six points. Neom, Al Nassr, Al Hilal, Al Ahli Saudi, and Al Ettifaq are among these teams. Cristiano Ronaldo, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, makes a return to the Saudi Pro League for the 2026-27 season after registering a goal in Al Nassr's 4-0 win against Al Riyadh.
Ronaldo played his first match under new coach Ange Postecoglou, scoring the decisive goal. Ronaldo is now 23 goals away from reaching the 1,000-goal milestone. Other notable additions to the attacking lineup include Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez, on loan from Al Hilal, and German midfielder Enzo Millot, also on loan from Al Ahli Saudi.
Tijjani Reijnders, the Dutch midfielder, made his debut for Al Qadsiah, signing for the club for a fee of £52 million. Despite missing a penalty in his first game, Summerville made an immediate impact with a goal in Hilal's 4-2 win against Al Fayha.
