The 2024 National Development League was the third division/tier of British motorcycle speedway for the 2024 season.[1] It is a semi-professional development league, containing mainly the junior sides of SGB Premiership and SGB Championship clubs. Oxford Chargers were the defending champions having won the title in 2023.[2] The league is sponsored by the World Speedway Riders' Association.[3]

Summary
Six clubs competed for the National Development League Championship, after the addition of Middlesbrough Tigers[4] and a Scunthorpe Stags and Sheffield Prowlers combined team.[5] The three teams that dropped out were Berwick Bullets, Kent Royals and Mildenhall Fen Tigers, while Workington Comets had moved up a division.[1]
The league points limit was set at 36, later increased to 36.25,[6] while all riders who achieved a Championship average higher than 4.00 in the past were unable to race in the National Development League. The playoff system was also scrapped, with the winners now being decided by whoever finished top of the league table during the regular season. The knockout cup was also not staged in 2024. In addition to the 2024 NDL league, all other senior teams were required to run a formal programme of second half racing called the National League Riders' Development Series.
Leicester Lion Cubs won the title.[7]
