The Speedway Great Britain Premiership 2017 is an upcoming season in the top division of Great British speedway. The season will run between March and October 2017 and will have 9 teams participating. The lineup of teams for 2017 is different from the lineup from the 2016 Elite League. The Lakeside Hammers have dropped out of the league and have been replaced by both the Rye House Rockets and the Somerset Rebels.

Regulation changes

At the annual Speedway AGM, which was held early in November 2016, it was agreed that speedway in Great Britain would be given what was described as "the biggest revamp of the sport in modern history". This involved numerous alterations to both the regulations and the branding of the sport. The former top level of British speedway, the Elite League, was replaced by the Speedway Great Britain Premiership. Among the most notable changes to the regulations is the reintroduction of promotion and relegation between the top two leagues, the team that finishes in last place in the Premiership will have to race against the winners of the new second tier of British speedway (the SGB Championship) in order to decide who will compete in the Premiership in 2018.[1]
