The Speedway Great Britain (SGB) Championship is the second division of speedway league competition in the United Kingdom, governed by the Speedway Control Bureau (SCB), in conjunction with the British Speedway Promoters' Association (BSPA). It was introduced for 2017 following a restructuring of British speedway..

League format

The league contains ten teams who meet each other twice home and away. The top four teams at the end of the regular season go into playoffs to decide the champions.

Unlike the previous leagues, there is relegation and promotion between the Championship and the new top tier, the SGB Premiership, with the bottom team from the Premiership going into a playoff with the Championship winners.

Ten of the teams from the previous Premier League will be in the Championship for 2017.

Team building

At the start of the season, teams are built up to maximum points limit. The combined Calculated Match Average (CMA) of the riders declared in the team must not be higher than an agreed figure set at the British Speedway Promoters' Association (BSPA) Annual General Meeting. For the 2017 the total must not be higher than 40.
