Only two teams remain unbeaten in the 2026-2027 Roshn Saudi League after six rounds: Al-Ittihad and Al-Kholood. While Al-Ittihad leads with 14 points from four wins and two draws, Al-Kholood's record marks the most impressive start in the club's history within the Saudi top flight.
Al-Kholood defeated Al-Shabab 2-1 on Wednesday to extend their unbeaten streak to six matches. Their tally of 12 points comes from three victories and three draws, including a goalless stalemate against Al-Ittihad on opening day. According to Opta statistics, this surpasses Al-Kholood's previous six-round performance, when they accumulated only nine points with three wins offset by three defeats.
The Golden League Battle
The golden league represents an exclusive achievement: winning the title without a single defeat across the entire season. This historic feat has only been accomplished twice in the Saudi professional era. Al-Hilal achieved it once, while Al-Shabab also managed the perfect campaign. Notably, Al-Hilal stands as the only team to complete this remarkable feat twice in league history.
Every other club competing in the Roshn League has already tasted defeat this season. Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr, and Al-Ahli—traditional powerhouses in Saudi football—have all dropped points. This leaves only Al-Ittihad and Al-Kholood as viable contenders for the golden league crown, a scenario that would position either team among the league's most accomplished sides should they maintain their defensive records through the campaign's conclusion.
