The 1933 National League was the second season of the highest tier of motorcycle speedway in Great Britain. Sheffield and Nottingham joined the league but the Stamford Bridge Pensioners dropped out. The National Association Trophy was dropped in favour of expanding the National League, with teams meeting each other home and away twice instead of once.

Belle Vue Aces won their first national title. Jack Parker of Clapton Saints finished with the highest average although Vic Huxley of Wimbledon Dons scored the most points
