The 1968–69 Saudi General League season was the first successful attempt to establish a regular league in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which was held 4 times between 1967 and 1970 but failed to be completed in all of them except in 1969. The 1969 season was won by Al-Ahly Club, which was the first club in Saudi history. The first league in 1966 contained 6 clubs: Al-Ittihad, Al-Wahda, Al-Nassr, Riyadh, Al-Ettifaq and Al-Qadisiyah, but was canceled before the second round started. Al-Ittihad and Al-Wahda were top of the league in the first round before the league was canceled due to the setback in June.
The semi-finals played between the champion of the central region Al-Nassr, against Al-Ahly, the champion of the western region. Al-Ahly defeated Al-Nassr and qualified for the final. Al-Ettifaq was the eastern region champion and played against Al-Jabalain, the second-league champion. Al-Ettifaq won and qualified to the final of the league to meet Al-Ahly.
Al-Ahly won the league after beating Al-Ettifaq in the final match 1–0, scored by Omar Rajkhan.
