Through this collaboration, the SPL will publish and amplify official video and editorial content across OneFootball, bringing fans closer to the action worldwide than ever before.
As part of the partnership, OneFootball will feature video content across its platforms, including content from the SPL’s official social channels. Fans can look forward to engaging match clips, highlights, behind-the-scenes footage, and viral moments in vertical and horizontal formats. This initiative aims to enhance the fan experience by providing compelling visual narratives throughout the season.
In addition to video content, OneFootball will offer official editorial coverage from the SPL in English, ensuring that fans can access timely updates, in-depth analysis, and expert commentary throughout the season.

In a dynamic start to their new collaboration, representatives from OneFootball recently travelled to Saudi Arabia to cover the SPL’s highly anticipated “Derby Week”, attending the “Sea Derby” in Jeddah between Al Ittihad and Al Ahli, as well as the “Capital Derby” in Riyadh that featured Al Nassr against Al Hilal.
OneFootball’s on-ground presence brought fans closer to the action with exclusive social media content, behind-the-scenes moments, and in-depth interviews with league representatives, managers, and players. It allowed the platform to deliver unparalleled insights into one of the most thrilling weeks in Saudi football and showcase the exciting potential of this groundbreaking partnership.
Serving more than 200 million people monthly through its owned and operated platform and video distribution network, OneFootball will be a primary outlet for publishing the SPL's official text and video content, leveraging its extensive reach to amplify the league's visibility across global audiences.
