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.

Fans can secure their seats for both nights of Grand Prix racing, with the sport’s elite riders set to battle it out across back-to-back rounds in Manchester.

Last year’s event delivered unforgettable drama, with Dan Bewley storming to victory on Friday ahead of Bartosz Zmarzlik and Brady Kurtz, before Zmarzlik edged out Kurtz in a thrilling Saturday showdown. Expectations are high for another spectacular two days of racing in 2026.

Organisers have also confirmed a series of enhancements for this year’s event, including earlier raceday opening times, a revised layout for bars and catering facilities, and an upgraded public address system in the East Stand to further improve the fan experience.

Supporters purchasing Friday tickets will also gain access to Qualifying and the Sprint Race, which takes place on Friday afternoon.

Single-day tickets (subject to availability) will go on sale from 10am on Tuesday March 3.

Plans are also being finalised for a park and ride service to and from the stadium, with further details on transport and parking to be announced soon.
