BSN's 2023 Premiership schedule has now been changed following this week's news that the Premiership Pairs has been reduced to a single round.
All 3 rounds of the Premiership Pairs were due to be streamed as part of the 19 Premiership meetings sold in BSN's Premiership Season Pass packages. The 2 missing rounds will now be replaced with domestic Premiership fixtures instead, meaning subscribers will still receive the 19 streams promised to them when purchasing Premiership and Total Season Pass packages.
The 1st round of the Premiership Pairs was due to take place on Monday 15th May at Wolverhampton Speedway. This fixture will now be replaced with Wolverhampton's Premiership or KO Cup clash against Sheffield Tigers, which takes place on the same day.
The 2nd round was due to take place at King's Lynn on Thursday 29th June. The one and only round of the 2023 Premiership Pairs will now take place on the same day, but the event changes venue to Leicester Speedway's Pidcock Motorcycles Arena.
The final round of the Pairs which was due to take place at Ipswich Speedway on the 3rd of August will be replaced with another fixture from Ipswich Speedway taking place in July.
One further change to BSN's schedule has also been necessary, following the postponement of the Sheffield V Ipswich league clash that was originally due to take place on Thursday 18th May. This fixture has now been moved to Thusday 15th June and will still be streamed live on BSN.
BSN's schedule has already been planned for the entire season, but is released on a monthly basis - this allows changes to be made when necessary without causing the disappointment that could be caused by releasing it too early.
June's schedule will be announced mid-May via BSN's website and social media platforms. Those streams will become visible at the same time in the UPCOMING STREAMS section on the homepage of the BSN website.
Finally, BSN would like to thank all of its subscribers for their understanding, patience and support in relation to the required change of schedule, and apologise for any disappointment this may have caused.

Monday 15th May - Wolverhampton V Sheffield (replaces cancelled Premiership Pairs R1)
