History
The league was inaugurated in 2021 after the Saudi Arabian Football Federation announced changes to the Saudi Third Division format. With the newly created Fourth Division taking up the old format of the Third Division.
The competition starts with regional groups based on their geographical locations, with the group winners and some runners-up qualifying directly to the Round of 32. While other runners-up qualify for the preliminary round to determine the rest of the Round of 32 participants.
In the first season of the Fourth Division, 6 teams were promoted to the Third Division. The four semi-finalists and two play-off spots played between the two losing quarter-finalists. After the Third Division was expanded to 40 teams, 14 teams were promoted to the Third Division.
