History 
Al-Faisaly finished as the runner-up in the 2005–06 first division season, thus becoming the first club from the Sudair region to achieve promotion to the top flight but went straight back down after just one season. Al-Faisaly achieved promotion for the second time to the top flight by winning the 2009-10 first division title, and have been competing in the Saudi Professional League until they were relegated in the 2021–22 campaign after twelve consecutive seasons in the top flight. 

During the 2017-18 season Al-Faisaly managed to reach the 2018 king cup final for the first time in their history, but fell short to Al-Ittihad, losing 3-1 in extra time. Al-Faisaly reached their second king cup final in four years, but this time they managed to win 3-2 against Al-Taawon in the 2020–21 edition with Júlio Tavares scoring a hat trick to secure their first ever top flight title, as well as their first AFC Champions League qualification. Al-Faisaly also qualified to the 2021 Saudi Super Cup after winning their first ever King Cup title on 27 May 2021. Al-Faisaly was defeated in the super cup by Al-Hilal (4–3) on penalties after 2–2 draw.

The club's debut campaign in the 2022 AFC Champions League was a massive success against all odds, Al-Faisaly pulled off a surprising upset by winning 2-1 over Qatari giants and two time AFC Champions League winners Al-Sadd.
