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[edit]

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.
