SGB Premiership 2021

The 2021 British Speedway Premiership League was the 86th season of the top division of British Speedway, called the Premiership in 2021. The 2020 season had been lost to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Six teams participated.

Team changes
Changes from the 2019 league season saw the Swindon Robins (the 2019 champions) not fielding a team due to the uncertainty surrounding the Swindon Stadium. The Poole Pirates dropped down to the next league down, the SGB Championship but Sheffield Tigers joined the league after previously competing in the SGB Championship 2019.

The league started on 17 May and race meetings were covered by Eurosport. Peterborough Panthers finished top of the regular season table by just one point, overtaking the long time leaders Wolverhampton Wolves. By virtue of finishing top they elected to play Wolves in the play off semi finals rather than the third or fourth placed teams Belle Vue and Sheffield. Peterborough then deservedly won the playoffs by beating Wolverhampton in the semifinals and Belle Vue in the final.

The Peterborough team gained the nickname the 'Dad's Army' due to the fact that four of their riders were aged 40 or older.
