How much Al Nassr could earn if they clinch the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League title
Al Nassr can secure the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League without playing — and a title would bring prize money, though exact figures for 2026 were not disclosed by organisers.
Who, what, when and why it matters: Al Nassr could become 2025-26 Saudi Pro League champions without playing on Saturday if nearest challengers Al Hilal fail to beat Neom. A league success would carry a champion's prize, but the Saudi Pro League has not publicly disclosed the exact 2025-26 payout — the most recent disclosed figure is from 2023, when Al Ittihad reportedly received SR5 million.
Why it matters
A title for Al Nassr matters on multiple levels: it would extend Cristiano Ronaldo's collection of club trophies, provide financial reward for the club, and remove the suspense from the domestic title race ahead of the final round of fixtures. Because the 2025-26 champion's prize has not been published, the exact financial impact remains unclear for the club and its backers.
What the source says about prize money
World Soccer Talk reports the Saudi Pro League has not disclosed the champion's prize for the 2025-26 season. The most recent disclosed figure is SR5 million, paid to Al Ittihad in 2023. If that amount had remained unchanged, it would be approximately $1.33 million, but there is no confirmation that the 2026 number is the same.
How the title race stands
According to the source, Al Nassr lead the table by five points with one match remaining after a late own goal in a recent match delayed celebrations and the chance to clinch on the field. Al Nassr will play Damac in the final match while Al Hilal face Al Fayha — Al Nassr could still be champions if Al Hilal fail to beat Neom on Saturday, which would leave Al Nassr uncatchable with only one game left.
Al Nassr also have a continental assignment: they will face Gamba Osaka in the AFC Champions League Two final in Riyadh, giving the club a chance to win silverware on the pitch even if domestic celebration was postponed.
Cristiano Ronaldo's role and form
World Soccer Talk notes Cristiano Ronaldo has continued to score this season: across competitions he has featured in 35 matches and scored 28 goals — this includes 29 Saudi Pro League appearances with 26 goals, one King Cup match, three AFC Champions League Two matches with one goal, and two Saudi Super Cup matches with one goal.

Context and limitations
The source provides standing and player statistics and references a 2023 disclosed champion payout as context. It does not give an official 2025-26 prize-money figure, nor does it state that Al Nassr have officially been confirmed as champions. Dates for the final fixtures are described in relative terms (Saturday, next Thursday) but exact calendar dates are not supplied in the source metadata.
What happens next
If Al Hilal fail to win on Saturday, Al Nassr will be uncatchable and would secure the Saudi Pro League crown without playing that day; the champion's prize money for 2025-26 remains to be confirmed by the league. Regardless of the domestic finish, Al Nassr will contest the AFC Champions League Two final against Gamba Osaka for a continental trophy.
