The 2024 SGB Championship season will be the 77th season of the second tier of British Speedway and the 7th known as the SGB Championship.[1] The league was sponsored by Cab Direct.
Summary
Nine clubs will compete in the Championship during 2024,[1] with Workington Comets replacing Birmingham Brummies following their respective league changes.[2][3] Edinburgh Monarchs once again remained in the league despite problems surrounding their home venue.[4]
The league format will be the same as in 2023, with each team racing against each other twice (home and away), meaning a total of 16 fixtures each during the season.
The top four teams qualify for the playoffs. The points limit for team construction was reduced from 40 to 38 points.[1]
Glasgow Tigers will defend the title, while Scunthorpe Scorpions will defend the knockout cup.
