King Fahd Sports City Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium and the main stadium of the sports city in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The stadium is currently closed for reconstruction, which will expand its capacity to approximately 72,000 seats by 2026.

The stadium has been included in the FIFA series of video games since the 2013 edition, when the Saudi Pro League began featuring in the game, while a modified version with two tiers all around was featured in the Pro Evolution Soccer series during the PlayStation 2 era under the name "Nakhon Ratchasima".

The cost of construction was about 1.912 billion Saudi riyals or $510 million. The stadium's roof covers an area of 47,000 square feet and held up by 24 columns arranged in a 247-metre diameter circle, creating an umbrella effect that shades spectators from the hot desert sun. A special pavilion for members of the royal family is also included.

The original King Fahd Stadium cost approximately SAR 1.912 billion (around $510 million) when built in the 1980s, but current renovation and expansion projects for the FIFA 2034 bid involve a much larger budget, potentially hundreds of millions of dollars, as part of a broader SAR 10.1 billion (approx. $2.7 billion) national stadium program to upgrade multiple venues and increase seating to around 92,000.
