Al-Ittihad vs Al-Ettifaq live stream: How to watch Saudi Pro League Matchday 16 worldwide

Al-Ittihad host Al-Ettifaq at King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah on Friday night, with both clubs separated by just five points in a congested mid-table. Here’s the match preview, head-to-head record, kick-off times (UK/US/Europe/MENA) and the simplest way to find the correct live stream in your country.

Preview: form, pressure, and a tight race

Al-Ittihad enter the round sixth and still chasing the top spots after a stuttering start to the title defence. The recent trend, however, is positive: Sergio Conceição’s side have put together an unbeaten streak across competitions and have been particularly strong at home, where goals have dried up at the back.

Al-Ettifaq arrive needing a response after a setback last weekend ended a strong unbeaten run. On the road, they’ve shown they can manage games and pick up points, but Jeddah has been a tough trip in recent seasons — and the margins in the table mean even a draw could matter later in the campaign.

Head-to-head: Al-Ittihad edge the series

Across 44 meetings in all competitions, Al-Ittihad hold the advantage: 23 wins to Al-Ettifaq’s 10, with 11 draws. Recent history has also produced drama, including a 3–2 result the last time these two met at this venue.

How to watch (outside India): the safest method

Because Saudi Pro League rights differ by country (and can change mid-season), the most reliable way to find the correct broadcaster is the league’s official “Where to watch” directory. Start here and choose your location to see the current TV and streaming partner in your region: Saudi Pro League — Where to watch.

Common options you may see by region

• UK / Ireland / parts of Europe (select territories): Some Saudi Pro League matches are available via DAZN in specific countries. DAZN has published a list of territories where it holds Saudi Pro League rights: DAZN rights locations.
• Saudi Arabia / MENA: Viewers commonly watch via Saudi sports broadcasters and partner streaming platforms listed in the league directory. Always confirm your exact country using the official “Where to watch” page above.
• USA / Canada: Coverage can vary by package and match selection. Check the league’s official broadcaster list for the latest platform in your area.

Note: Avoid unofficial streams. If you can’t find the match instantly, use the official broadcaster directory first (it’s the quickest way to confirm whether the game is live in your territory and which subscription you need).

What’s at stake

With continental places still within reach, this is the kind of “six-pointer” that can quietly reshape the table. A home win keeps Al-Ittihad’s momentum rolling, while Al-Ettifaq know a result in Jeddah can reboot their push for the AFC Champions League positions.
