The Saudi Pro League has announced that it has entered into a partnership with social media juggernaut TikTok. Under the partnership, TikTok will be the official digital partner of the Roshni Saudi League for the 2024-25 season.

Under the partnership, the SPL hopes to harness TikTok’s market leader status for short-form mobile video content to create an enhanced digital experience for its audiences. TikTok will be establishing a dedicated SPL Exclusive Hub where fans will access content from the SPL and its partners.

The idea behind the hub is that it will offer an immersive experience that strengthens the ties between the fans and their favorite Saudi Pro League teams. As the league’s popularity increases, the hope is that the TikTok partnership will elevate the excitement of the SPL’s matches through behind-the-scenes footage, player interviews, and training content.

Creators on TikTok will also enjoy exclusive opportunities where they will access training sessions and matchday experiences and interact with top players. The objective is to increase fan engagement globally through creative storytelling using familiar faces.

Speaking on the partnership, the Saudi Pro League CEO, Omar Mugharbel, said: “The partnership between the Saudi Pro League and TikTok is a groundbreaking development for our sector in the region and represents a strategic leap into the future of sports entertainment. This is more than a partnership, it’s a digital revolution. We are harnessing TikTok’s power to transcend traditional engagement and offer our fans a canvas for creative expression and a suite of experiences tailored to their passion for football.”

As fans globally embrace short-form video content on their mobile devices, the Saudi Pro League-TikTok partnership is a strategic one that promises to widen the League’s audience
