The 2026 SGB Cab Direct Championship season is the 79th season of the second tier of British Speedway and the 9th known as the SGB Championship.[1]

Poole Pirates were the defending league champions and Knockout Cup champions, while Redcar Bears were the defending BSN Series champions.

The same nine clubs from 2025 compete in the 2026 Championship. The format also remains the same with each team racing against each other twice (home and away), meaning a total of 16 fixtures each during the season. The Knockout Cup and the BSN Series also return, both following the same formats as in 2025. The Oxford promotion only entered teams for the Championship and NDL.[2]

The top four teams qualify for the playoffs, staged over two semi-finals and a final. The points limit for team building remains at 40 points with only one rider above an 8 average allowed in each team.[1]
