Belle Vue launch their 2026 campaign tonight (Monday, 7pm) with the running of the Peter Craven Memorial Trophy at the National Speedway Stadium.
The prestigious individual event traditionally opens the Aces’ season and once again features a strong field of top riders battling for one of British Speedway’s most respected trophies.
The meeting format also offers a distinctive finish. After the regular heats, the top three scorers progress straight to the Final, while the next five riders compete in a semi-final to determine the remaining three places in the six-rider showdown that decides the winner.
There have been a couple of late changes to the line-up ahead of the meeting. Adam Ellis has been called in to replace Fredrik Lindgren, who is unavailable due to personal reasons, while Sam Masters steps in for Niels-Kristian Iversen following the Dane’s concussion in a crash at King’s Lynn on Sunday.
Tickets for the Peter Craven Memorial remain available online through the Belle Vue Speedway website and will also be on sale at the stadium on the night.
For supporters unable to attend in person, the meeting will be broadcast live via BVTV, with coverage beginning at 6.30pm.
