1974 was the final season of British League Division Two before it was renamed as the New National League. The league was again expanded from 18 to 19 teams. Hull Vikings had moved up to the British League swapping places with Coatbridge Tigers and also swapping their top riders. Rayleigh Rockets closed down but the promotion, riders and nickname moved to Rye House. Chesterton Potters changed their team name to Stoke whilst Bradford, Sunderland and Long Eaton all changed nicknames. Weymouth Wizards were the new addition to the league.

Birmingham Brummies won their first title, completing a league and cup double.
