New Zealand speedway is back on the clock.
As at 23 August 2026 there are 267 confirmed race nights across 19 tracks with published calendars, out of 29 tracks listed here. The season opens Saturday 5 September with a Test and Tune at Ashburton Speedway, and the last date currently on the board is Saturday 8 May.
Every date came off a club's own calendar, poster or Facebook page. None of it is guessed, and where a club has not published yet we have left it blank rather than filled it in.

The tracks that have not published yet
29 tracks are listed and 19 have dates up. The rest are preparing but had not published a calendar as at 23 August 2026. We check again through September rather than inventing dates for them.
If you run one of those clubs, your page is already live and there is a button on it to claim it. You can then post your own dates, change a start time, or mark a meeting off, and everyone following your track hears within minutes.
Never drive to a rained-off meeting
The most common question in New Zealand speedway is whether it is still on. Put your email against your track on the home page and you get told the moment a meeting is called off, a time moves, or new dates go up. No account and no password.
