The 2026 FIM Speedway World Cup (SWC) is the 19th Speedway World Cup, an international motorcycle speedway world championship tournament organised by the FIM. The 2026 edition will be the first since 2023 and takes place between 1 May and 29 August 2026.[1] Poland are the defending champions having won the competition in 2023.

The competition involves ten national teams, with four competing in the first semi-final at Landshut in Germany on 1 May and four competing in the second semi-final at Riga in Latvia on 7 August. The winners of these semi-finals will join hosts Poland and Speedway of Nations champions Australia in the final at Warsaw in Poland on 29 August.[2] Russia were once again excluded from an FIM event due to the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Great Britain won the first semi-final, beating Czechia, Germany and Ukraine to reach the final. Grand Prix stars Robert Lambert and Dan Bewley shone, scoring 27 points between them.[3][4][5]
