SHEFFIELD Speedway are proud to announce a key, meaningful partnership for the 2026 season.

The club have opted not to assign a main team sponsor for the forthcoming campaign in order to support Sheffield Children’s Hospital in a big year for the charity.

Not only is it the 50th year for the charity, but they are also celebrating 150 years since the hospital first opened its doors.

The initiative will see the Tigers proudly display the Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity logo in two places on their racesuits whilst helping with fundraising for their projects throughout 2026.

Co-owner Damien Bates said: “When we sat down to start getting plans in place for the season, one thing we spoke about was forming some partnerships in the region to try and give something back to the local community.

“Sheffield Children’s Hospital was one that was put to us and when we heard it was the 150th year there, for us it all made perfect sense to help promote their work as much as we can.

“The charity will have a presence on some of our racenights where they will have representatives explaining some of the projects they are working on this year and our supporters will have the opportunity to make a donation at the same time.

“We’ll also be getting some of the riders to head over to the hospital and hand out some Sheffield merchandise and some free tickets and we’re really pleased we’ve been able to get this partnership agreed for the year.”

Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity's Corporate Partnerships Manager, Sophie Coburn, said: “We’re incredibly proud to be named as charity partner by Sheffield Speedway this year.

"Sheffield Speedway has such a passionate and loyal fanbase, and this partnership gives us a fantastic opportunity to raise both vital funds and awareness for the life-changing care provided at Sheffield Children’s.

“Together, we can help make a real difference for patients and families across our region."

“Sheffield Tigers - proud to support Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity”.
