It ranks directly below the Saudi Pro League and above the Saudi Second Division League.

History

Al-Najma vs Al-Riyadh in the 2010–11 Saudi First Division season

The First Division League, originally thought to have been established in 1976, was officially recognized in 2025 as having been founded in 1957, following the findings of the 2023–2025 Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF) historical documentation project. This revision aligns the league's origins with those of the Saudi Pro League, whose early development occurred in the same era.

Prior to 1976, records of Saudi football competitions were sporadic and poorly archived. In response, a national effort was undertaken to verify and document early league structures. The SAFF project uncovered evidence of organized second-tier competitions dating back to the late 1950s, which were eventually unified and formally structured into what became the First Division.

From the 2017–18 season to the 2020–21 season, the league was named in honor of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Throughout its history, the league has served as a vital platform for club development and promotion to the top flight. Among its most successful participants, Hajer, Al-Wehda, Al-Qadsiah, and Al-Jabalain each hold four titles—the most in the league’s recorded history.

The Saudi Arabia Division 1 is the second tier of professional football in Saudi Arabia, serving as a competitive platform for emerging clubs and aspiring teams aiming for top-flight success. Established to foster local talent and enhance the development of football within the kingdom, the league features a dynamic mix of seasoned clubs and rising stars. Teams compete across a structured season, with the top performers earning promotion to the Saudi Pro League, while the lower-ranked clubs face relegation to regional divisions. Known for its passionate fan base and intense matches, the Saudi Arabia Division 1 plays a crucial role in shaping the future of Saudi football and providing exciting entertainment for football enthusiasts nationwide.
