1996 Premier League speedway season#Premier League Knockout Cup

Cradley Heathens and Stoke Potters merged for the 1996 season and Arena Essex Hammers dropped out of the league with the promotion moving to Hackney Wick Stadium and racing as the London Lions. The Glasgow Tigers and Edinburgh Monarchs effectively merged because the Edinburgh promotion raced at Shawfield Stadium under the name the Scottish Monarchs. Oxford reverted to their traditional name of Cheetahs, after ditching the unpopular Silver Machine and King's Lynn Stars did not participate during 1996.

Many Glasgow Tigers fans refused to support what they saw as their team of old rivals, and although Monarchs fans initially travelled to Glasgow, crowd numbers soon fell. Cradley & Stoke, despite having the American stars Billy Hamill and Greg Hancock finishing first and second in the averages, could only manage fifth place in the league. Cradley Heath were disbanded after the season following the closure of Dudley Wood Stadium, their home venue.{{cite web|url=http://www.cradleyspeedway.co.uk/years/1996.htm|title=Heathens at Stoke:End of Another Era|publisher=Cradley Speedway|access-date=31 July 2021|archive-date=22 June 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210622145808/http://cradleyspeedway.co.uk/years/1996.htm|url-status=live}} Oxford reverted to their popular name of Cheetahs and

The one league set up only lasted for 1995 and 1996, due to the huge disparity between the teams. Wolverhampton Wolves won the title for the second time in six years, with American Ronnie Correy being the sole survivor of the 1991 winning team. In a strange coincidence a new set of two brothers helped Wolves win the title, back in 1991 it was the Ermolenko brothers but now it was the Swedish Karlsson brothers. Peter Karlsson and Mikael Karlsson both scored heavily and ended the season with averages around the 10 mark.{{cite web|url=http://www.speedwaygb.co/history/leaguetables1996.php|title=1996 league tables|publisher=Speedway GB|access-date=30 May 2018|archive-date=12 June 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180612135823/http://www.speedwaygb.co/history/leaguetables1996.php|url-status=live}}{{Cite web |url=http://www.british-speedway.co.uk/ |title=SPEEDWAY GB – British Speedway Official Website |access-date=16 July 2012 |archive-date=30 December 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061230040122/http://www.british-speedway.co.uk/ |url-status=live }}

Wolverhampton Wolves were declared Knockout Cup Champions, winning on aggregate 100-92.

Sam Ermolenko won the Premier League Riders Championship, held at Odsal Stadium on 19 October. It was the third time that Ermolenko had won the Riders' Championship trophy but the most fortunate. He had qualified for the semi finals with just 7 points and then won the final when Chris Louis was leading on the final lap before suffering an engine failure.{{cite news |title=American ace survives late drama |work=Huddersfield Daily Examiner |date=21 October 1996 |access-date=7 June 2023 |url=https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000901/19961021/015/0015 | via = British Newspaper Archive|url-access=subscription }}
