The King Fahd International Stadium was built in 1982 and was opened in 1987.[3] The stadium was used as a venue for the 1992, 1995, and the 1997 editions of the FIFA Confederations Cup.[4] Its current capacity is 68,752[5] and it is used by the Saudi Arabia national football team, Al-Nassr, Al-Shabab, and major domestic matches.

Al-Hilal reached their eighth final after a 5–2 aggregate win against Al-Wehda.[6] This was Al-Hilal's second final in a row. Previously, they won finals in 1964, 1995, 2000, 2003, and 2005, and lost in 1957, and 1999.

Al-Ahli reached their ninth final, after a 5–4 aggregate win against Al-Shabab.[7] They reached their first final since 2004. They finished as runners-up after losing to Al-Ittihad in that year's final. Previously, they won finals in 1957, 1970, 1998, and 2002, and lost in 1958, 1974, 2003, and 2004.

This was the third meeting between these two sides in the Crown Prince Cup final.[8] Al-Ahli won once in 1957 while Al-Hilal won 2003.
