1994 British League Division Two season

The 1994 British League Division Two season was contested as the second division of Speedway in the United Kingdom. The British League Divisions 2 and 3 were disbanded after this season and did not return until 1997. An Academy League was introduced.

Summary

Rye House Rockets did not start the season because the promoters Roger Shute and Peter Redfern left the club leaving Ronnie Russell in sole charge. Russell failed to secure the necessary funding to continue and the Rockets were disbanded.

The league title and knockout Cup was won by the Glasgow Tigers, who achieved the feat of recording the 'double double' (the league and cup double for two consecutive seasons).
