Al Taawoun were set to face Al Ahli on Monday at King Abdullah Sport City Stadium in Saudi League action, with kickoff scheduled for 1:45 p.m. ET. Fans could watch on FOX Sports 2 or stream the match on Fubo.
Al Ahli arrived in third place in the Saudi top-flight standings with 72 points from 31 matches, carrying a record of 22 wins, six draws and three losses. The club had won its previous two matches, beating Al Fateh 3-1 on Wednesday at King Abdullah Sports City before routing Al Akhdoud 4-0 there on Sunday.
That recent run featured goals from Valentin Atangana, Franck Kessié and Firas Al-Buraikan in the win over Al Akhdoud, a result that underlined how sharp Al Ahli has looked in front of goal. The sequence also came against the same backdrop of King Abdullah Sports City, where the team had already handled Al Fateh four days earlier.
For Al Taawoun, the assignment was clear: slow down one of the league’s most in-form sides before Al Ahli’s late-season momentum turned into a bigger push. The matchup landed on Monday, May 11, 2026, with Al Ahli trying to turn two straight victories into a longer run and protect its place near the top of the table.
