Where to Watch Saudi Arabia vs Kuwait Football LIVE, Start Time & TV Channels Info - Arabian Gulf Cup 2026

The hosts, Saudi Arabia, are gearing up for their opening fixture against Kuwait in the Arabian Gulf Cup 2026. The Green Falcons have not won this tournament since 2004, as Georgios Donis looks to change their fortunes this time around.

The Saudi Arabia national football team last lifted the Arabian Gulf Cup title in 2004, which was their third overall. Since then, they have failed to win this competition for two decades, finishing as runner-up more times than they have actually won the tournament.

They finished second for the seventh time in 2019, and are desperate to win it this time, considering they have an added advantage of playing it in front of their own fans and on their own soil. However, history hasn't been kind to Saudi Arabia when they have hosted this tournament.

The Saudis have won only once out of the four times they have hosted the Arabian Gulf Cup, something they would want to change this year. They are coming off a horrendous run of form with just one win out of their last five games, but can draw inspiration from their outings against the Uruguay national football team and Cape Verde in the recently concluded World Cup.

On the other hand, the Kuwait national football team have won this tournament a record 10 times, the most by any nation that has participated in this competition. Their recent form is abysmal too, having won just one out of their last six fixtures across all competitions.

The Blue Wave have managed just one clean sheet in their last 10 games, which is a serious concern for Helio Sousa & co. The recent head-to-head record shows that Kuwait have won their last two out of the three matches against Saudi Arabia, both of which took place in 2019.

They will look to end their winless streak against a familiar foe, replicating their group stage success from the 2019 edition of the Gulf Cup. To catch this important Arabian Gulf Cup encounter, follow our comprehensive coverage on where to watch Saudi Arabia vs Kuwait here.
