The 1936 Provincial Speedway League was the first season of the Provincial League, introduced as a second tier to the National League. It was formed after Mr B. Southouse (the Cardiff speedway manager for the Greyhound Racing Association) proposed that a new league be formed and organised a syndicate, including Nottingham and Liverpool speedway.^[1]

Six speedway teams started the season but Cardiff White City speedway withdrew after just nine matches and had their record expunged. Their star riders, Cliff Parkinson, George Greenwood, Tommy Price and Ted Bravery, all joined Nottingham.^[2]

Southampton Saints were the champions on race points difference over Bristol Bulldogs.^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]

Due to the brevity of the season, teams also competed for the Provincial Trophy in a league format. Cardiff had only completed one fixture before folding and their record was expunged. West Ham Hawks which was West Ham Hammers' reserve side, also competed, but raced home meetings at Southampton. Southampton Saints won the Provincial trophy to complete the double.

The 1936 National Trophy was the sixth edition of the Knockout Cup.^[7] Southampton Saints won the Provincial Final round and therefore qualified for the quarter finals proper (the round when the tier one sides entered the competition).
