The SGB Championship 2021 was the second tier division, called the SGB Championship, of the British speedway championship in 2021.
Changes from the last edition of the Championship (held in 2019) were the addition of three teams and the loss of two teams. The 2019 Premiership club Poole Pirates, were the biggest profile club to join the league after dropping down from the highest league. Also the Kent Kings and Plymouth Gladiators both joined the league from the National Development League. Sheffield Tigers left the league to move up to the highest division and Somerset Rebels withdrew from the league altogether.
The league started on 21 May with twelve teams participating and race meetings were covered by Eurosport. Poole Pirates finished top of the regular season table and secured a place in the play off semi finals. Poole duly won their play off semi final against Leicester and would meet Glasgow in the final. Glasgow, who had finished second in the table, defeated Edinburgh in the other semi final despite being eliminated from the Knockout Cup the week before by their Scottish rivals.
Poole became the champions after a 96–84 aggregate win over Glasgow in the play off final. They also sealed the double winning the division 2 Knockout Cup for the third time in their history.
