Al Nassr can wrap up the Saudi Pro League title on Tuesday when they face Al Hilal at Al-Awwal Park, with Cristiano Ronaldo’s side in control of the race after reaching 82 points with two games remaining in the 2025-26 season.
A win would put Al Nassr on 85 points and leave Al Hilal on 77, a margin the visitors could not erase even with their game in hand and victories in their last two matches. A draw would still leave Al Nassr with the title in reach, because they would need only to beat Damac FC in their final match. And if Al Hilal win, the gap would shrink to two points, with the title still alive because they would then have a game in hand and could finish the job by beating Neom SC and Al-Fayha.
For Ronaldo, the stakes are as plain as they are familiar. He joined Al Nassr from Manchester United in December 2022, and the club has finished as runners-up in his first two campaigns before settling for third place last season. Four years after arriving in Saudi Arabia, he is still waiting for a major trophy with Al Nassr, and Tuesday offers the clearest chance yet to end that wait.
The reason the contest still has life is Al Hilal’s extra match, the one detail that has kept the chase from being decided already. Al Nassr’s lead is comfortable, but not final, and the title could still turn on whether they protect it in the one fixture that matters most.
What happens at Al-Awwal Park will not settle just one game. It will decide whether Al Nassr can finally turn Ronaldo’s move into a league crown, or whether Al Hilal can drag the title race deep enough to force one last stretch run.
