They have a 12-point lead over Al-Nassr with two league matches remaining in the 2023-24 season.
Neymar and Ronaldo's contrasting 2023-24 seasons
Al-Hilal managed to capture the championship despite Neymar missing the majority of the season because of injury.
He suffered a serious knee injury while on international duty with Brazil last October in the match against Uruguay and has been out of action since.
That didn't stop Al-Hilal from securing another league title with three matches to spare.
Cristiano Ronaldo may have lost out on another trophy chance with Al-Nassr but he still produced one of the best individual seasons of his career in the 2023-24 campaign.
He remains the Golden Boot leader, scoring 33 goals in the Saudi Pro League this 2023-24 season, per Goal.com.
