The highly anticipated Saudi Professional League fixture between Al Shabab Riyadh and Al Ittihad is set for Tuesday, May 20, 2025, kicking off at 19:00 UK time. Football fans in the UK and across the globe can catch all the live action via multiple broadcasters, with coverage primarily relying on world feed commentators for comprehensive match commentary.

Where to Watch Al Shabab vs Al Ittihad

In the UK, DAZN holds the broadcast rights to the Saudi Professional League and will air this fixture live. Viewers with a subscription can stream the match on DAZN UK, accessible via TV or the DAZN app, providing high-quality coverage of the game using the world feed commentators.

For those in Canada, the match is available on DAZN Canada, while viewers in New Zealand can watch it on DAZN New Zealand, both also using the world feed commentary team.

New Zealand’s 10 Play service will also air the game, but it is subject to geo-restrictions. International viewers thus have several options depending on their location, but all these services share the same commentary broadcast through the world feed.

Commentary Team and Broadcast Format

Unlike some leagues where local commentators lead coverage, this Saudi Professional League fixture utilises the world feed commentators across all broadcasters. This means a uniform commentary experience internationally, designed to offer expert analysis and engaging insights.

One notable pundit on the world feed is Clinton Morrison, a former England and Crystal Palace striker known for his sharp football analysis and comprehensive understanding of the game’s tactical nuances. Morrison brings a wealth of playing experience into his commentary, enhancing viewer appreciation with expert breakdowns of key moments in the match.

While the main commentator for the match is not specifically named in public listings, the use of a world feed means a professional commentary team with experience in international football broadcasts is employed to deliver commentary in English, ensuring clarity and excitement for the audience.

Background on the Teams and Recent Form

Al Shabab Riyadh are hosting the match at their home ground, with a strong record in recent fixtures, including a 3-1 victory over Al Ahli and a 1-3 away win against Al Riyadh. Their robust home form makes them formidable opponents.

Al Ittihad, the reigning Saudi Pro League champions, have demonstrated dominance this season under coach Laurent Blanc, securing the title with a series of impressive wins including a comeback victory against Al Raed.
