The SGB Premiership 2020 is the top division of British speedway; the league itself is called the SGB Premiership. The current league champions from the 2019 league season are the Swindon Robins who beat the Ipswich Witches in the end of season play-off final. The league will consist of 7 teams again in 2020, but Poole Pirates have dropped down into the league below known as the SGB Championship, and have been replaced in the SGB Premiership by 2019 SGB Championship team the Sheffield Tigers.

Background

The league will run between March and October 2020 and will have seven teams participating. The line-up of teams will change from the previous 2019 league season with Poole Pirates dropping down into the SGB Championship and being replaced by 2019 SGB Championship team Sheffield Tigers. Eurosport took over from BT Sport with TV coverage of the SGB Premiership in 2020.^[1]

At the Speedway AGM in November 2019, it was agreed that SGB Premiership average league point limit would remain at 42.50.
