The 2026 Scottish speedway season starts this Friday at Armadale Stadium with an epic derby match as Edinburgh Monarchs face Glasgow Tigers!

Edinburgh versus Glasgow encounters are renowned as being the biggest derby match in British Speedway with both sides eager to take the points - and bragging rights - every time the teams face each other.

This Friday brings an early opportunity to do so, and to claim vital BSN Series group stage points as Monarchs seek a place in the semi finals of the competition.

This will also be the first time the teams have gone head-to-head since the incredible Play Off semi final of last season, adding an extra slice of intrigue to Friday's fixture.

A big crowd is anticipated for what will be the season opener as well as the first derby match of the year. Tickets are available now here:
