List of foreign Saudi Professional League players

This is a list of foreign players in the Saudi Pro League, which commenced play in 2008. The following players must meet both of the following two criteria: Have played at least one Pro League game. Players who were signed by Pro League clubs, but only played in cup and/or Asian games, or did not play in any competitive games at all, are not included. Are considered foreign, i.e., outside Saudi Arabia determined by the following: A player is considered foreign if his allegiance is not to play for the national team of Saudi Arabia. More specifically, If a player has been capped on international level, the national team is used; if he has been capped by more than one country, the highest level (or the most recent) team is used. If a player has not been capped on international level, his country of birth is used, except those who clearly indicated to have switched his nationality to another nation. Clubs listed are those for which the player has played at least one Pro game — and seasons are those in which the player has played at least one Pro League game. Note that seasons, not calendar years, are used. For example, "2008–11" indicates that the player has played in every season from 2008–09 to 2010–11, but not necessarily every calendar year from 2008 to 2011. Therefore, a player should always have a listing under at least two years — for instance, a player making his debut in 2011, during the 2011–12 season, will have '2011–12' after his name. This follows general practice in expressing sporting seasons in Saudi Arabia.

121 of the 207 foreign FIFA-affiliated nations have been represented in the Pro League. Kosovo became the most recent nation to be represented, with Bersant Celina making his debut for Al-Ettifaq against Al-Riyadh on 14 August 2026.

In bold: players who have played at least one Premier League game in the current season (2026–27), and are still at a club for which they have played. This does not include current players of a Pro League club who have not played a Pro League game in the current season.
