1975–76 Saudi Categorization League

Saudi Professional League
Season 1975–76
Champions Al-Nassr

The league included all top-performing clubs from their respective regional leagues of the East, West, and Central regions. The league was titled The Categorization League (Arabic: الدوري التصنيفي), because it categorized which clubs play in the Premier league and which clubs play in the Saudi First Division. It is not considered as Saudi Premier League in FIFA,[1] making an end to Saudi Regional Leagues.[2]

Sixteen teams took part on a home and away basis. The top four from each group qualified for the next official Premier league, whereas the bottom four of each group were removed from the league until the inclusion of the Saudi First Division. The top clubs from each group met on a final match to decide who's champion.

The championship was won by Al-Nassr.[3]
