As temperatures dip, the Saudi capital turns up the excitement. The first teaser for Riyadh Season 2025 hints at a blockbuster edition that blends world-class entertainment, high-octane sport and headline attractions, all curated “From Riyadh to the world.”
Riyadh Season has a reputation for scale and spectacle, and the 2025 campaign looks set to raise the stakes once again. The teaser, shared across social media, features global creators Speed and KSI, a signal that the city is courting an international audience and a stacked guest list. While full details and opening dates are still to be confirmed, the initial messages suggest a calendar designed to capture attention far beyond the region.
Sport remains a star player. The teaser suggests the return of showpiece boxing nights that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Combat sports continue to gain momentum in the Kingdom, with all eyes on potential cards featuring UFC, Power Slap, and more. Courtside drama is also expected, with tennis once again primed to bring marquee names and exhibition thrills to the city.
At Boulevard City, bigger and bolder rides are on the radar, pushing the destination’s adrenaline credentials. Digital culture also steps into the spotlight, as YouTube megastar Mr Beast is set to introduce a signature attraction, billed as what could be the world’s largest claw machine.
Comedy takes centre stage under the lights, with international stand-ups and live acts adding to the season’s vibrant nightlife energy. Riyadh Comedy Week helps set the tone, building momentum for a more expansive laughter-led line-up across the months ahead. Families can look forward to immersive zones, zoo experiences, close-up animal encounters and a roll call of food festivals that showcase both local flavours and global favourites.
Awards season glamour is firmly on the cards. The Joy Awards, a red-carpet staple for the region, are slated to return, bringing star power and cultural recognition to one of the calendar’s most photographed nights.
His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, the Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority (GEA), has announced that the sixth edition of Riyadh Season will begin on Friday, 10 October. The expanded event will feature 11 entertainment zones, as well as diverse international events, including 15 world championships and 34 exhibitions and festivals.
