The 1981–82 season of the Saudi Premier League, also known as the Joint League, saw the merger of both the Saudi Premier League and the Saudi First Division League in relation to the 1982 FIFA World Cup qualification process.
Overview Twenty teams were divided into two groups, A and B.
The top two in each group would enter a semi-final phase to determine the overall champions.
The top five from each group would also create the makeup for the next season's Premier League ten clubs, while the bottom five on the other hand would be entered into the Saudi First Division League.
