Al-Nassr defended the title and claimed their 6th league title after beating Al-Hilal in the final.
Overview
Al-Nassr defended the championship and claimed their 6th championship, although the Saudi FA rules stipulated that both teams in the championship final had to play away, so although both finalists are from Riyadh, the final was in Jeddah. Al-Nassr had four coaches during the season. Youssouf Khamis was the lucky one to win the final, following the successive sackings of Henri Michel, Ivo Borkibo and Nasser Jawhar.
