Premiership Predictions 2026

[TheTopDrawer]

Since it might be a couple of weeks before we know the Ipswich team (and whether Northampton is happening), we might as well start this now. using our best educated guesses.  You're welcome to come back and edit your predictions before the season starts.

I'll go:-

1.  Belle Vue
2.  Sheffield
3.  King's Lynn
4.  Leicester
5.  Ipswich
6.  Northampton

As pointless as a broken pencil making any kind of prediction at this stage

I most certainly did and my comment remains

My prediction is Ipswich scrape in to fourth, then bring in Doyle at the very least when other leagues shut up shop and pi$$ the play offs 🤪

They won't be in the play offs if they finish 4th...

Northampton to withdraw from the league in June, saying just not enough fans supporting the venture

Your prediction may become a fact tbh.

I don't think they can risk paying big money to a GP rider whilst not knowing how many fans will actually turn up to watch the product so I'm expecting them to be on par with the 2025 Spires.

I just don’t know where they expect the fans to come from, a few from Peterborough and maybe a few from Coventry and there will be some novelty fans at the first meeting so unless they are bankrolling it somehow this has Skegness written all over it and the sport was a lot healthier then

I predict kings lynn and Northampton will be relegated. Glasgow and Poole ( who else ) will be promoted and Spurs will win the Champions league. I know my stuff …

I don't either tbh and I normally try to find the positives in most things.

They won't be that good I'm thinking Lynn Stars 1985.

Good question there might still be a few around - there is a good catchment area around Northampton near the M1 easy to get to near  Northampton as well compared to the club I used to attend  kings Lynn who has the sea one side of the town Northampton is central with  a massive catchment area the only thing they don’t have is hard core loyal fans that attend come what may and that’s a massive miss .

Well it’s a good job that they have been announced early and have been heavily promoted and already have advertising around the area so as the potential fans are aware that a new speedway team is coining to town and you can already get any club merchandise ready for their first meeting in 5 weeks time 🙄

Another point which I suspect and I have been told it too is that it is mayfield putting the money up for this too aswell as Ipswich so what if they do lose their arse on Northampton Where does that leave Ipswich ?but then again if Northampton fails so too will the premier league
