This study aims to identify the level of satisfaction amongst physical education teachers with the new curriculum: (objectives, potentials & contents) as well as whether there are statistically significant differences in their level of satisfaction due to the variables: (academic qualification and number of teaching years / teaching experience). The descriptive method was used in this study, where the study sample consisted of (153) teachers of physical education in the city of Riyadh, and a questionnaire was developed consisting of three axes (goals, potentials, and content). The results showed that there is high satisfaction with the teachers of physical education about the new curriculum based on their responses.
