Nuclear saturation is a crucial feature in nuclear physics that plays afundamental role in understanding various nuclear phenomena, ranging fromproperties of finite nuclei to those of neutron stars. However, a properdescription of nuclear saturation is highly nontrivial in modernnonrelativistic~\textit{ab initio}~studies because of the elusive three-bodyforces. In this letter, we calculate the equation of state for nuclear matterin the relativistic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock framework with the leading ordercovariant chiral nuclear force. We show that a simultaneous description of thenucleon-nucleon scattering data and the saturation of the symmetric nuclearmatter can be achieved. In this regard, the relativistic effects nicely explainthe saturation of nuclear matter. As a result, the present study provides a newperspective on one of the most salient features in nuclear physics.
