Every Saudi Pro League match to be shown live this season as new UK broadcast deal confirmed

British football fans will be able to watch every match in the Saudi Pro League live this season.

That's because DAZN have secured exclusive live rights for the competition; home to the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Jordan Henderson and Riyad Mahrez.

The Daily Mail have revealed that DAZN have secured exclusive rights to show Saudi Pro League matches in the UK ahead of the start of the league this Friday.

A fixture between Al Ahli Saudi and Al Hazm kicks off the new Saudi Pro League, with Ronaldo's Al Nassr coming up against Steven Gerrard's Al Ettifaq on August 14.

Next Monday will also see the likes of Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante in action for Al Ittihad not to mention Ruben Neves and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic for Al Hilal.

Gerrard has snapped up his former Liverpool teammate Jordan Henderson so he could line up against the ex-Manchester United superstar.

Sky Sports picked up the digital rights to broadcast the Saudi Pro League games halfway through last season following Ronald's move to the Middle East.

But the DAZN deal will see them commit to broadcasting the league for the entire season.
