2026 SGB Premiership

The 2026 SGB Premiership is the 91st season of the top tier of British speedway and the 9th known as the SGB Premiership. Ipswich Witches were the defending champions, while Leicester Lions were the defending Knockout Cup champions.

Summary

The league consisted of six teams after Birmingham Brummies and Oxford Spires left and a new team called Northampton Speedway joined. The Brummies had no home after the closure of Perry Barr Stadium and the Oxford promotion only entered teams for the Championship and NDL.

Ipswich started the season with new owners, the Silverstone based company Mayfield.

The rules remained similar to the previous season except for the play offs, where 2nd and 3rd finishers in the regular season league table would meet to determine who would play the 1st place team in the grand final. A 37 points limit for six riders was agreed, with one rising star place at seven.
