SGB Premiership 2020

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.
