SGB Championship 2025

The 2025 SGB Cab Direct Championship season was the 78th season of the second tier of British Speedway and the 8th known as the SGB Championship.

Poole Pirates were the defending league champions, Knockout Cup champions and BSN Series champions.

Summary

The same nine clubs from 2024 competed in the Championship in 2025. The format also remained the same with each team racing against each other twice (home and away), meaning a total of 16 fixtures each during the season. The Cab Direct Knockout Cup and the BSN Series also returned, both following the same formats as in 2024.

The top four teams qualified for the playoffs, staged over two semi-finals and a final. The points limit for team building remained at 40 points.

Glasgow finished top of the table during the regular season, finishing one point ahead of Poole.
