Stellar Monarchs Academy are ready to tackle the 2025 season with the WSRA National Development League fixture list now unveiled.

The team will open the campaign with a super Saturday home fixture against Middlesbrough Tigers on 12 April followed by another special Saturday showdown against Belle Vue Colts on Saturday 10th May, both from 7pm.

Stellar Monarchs Academy co-promoter John Campbell said, "We are pleased with how the fixture list has come together for the upcoming season.

"There is a steady pacing to the Academy fixtures throughout the season and it is terrific that we will present weekly speedway at Armadale Stadium from the start of the season scheduled right through to 30th May which is reserved for the next round of the MAXiCab Knock Out Cup.

"This is great consistency and we hope that our supporters will turn out to support the Academy side and get their weekly fix of fantastic speedway at Armadale Stadium."

The Academy then continue the season with back-to-back Sunday road trips to Oxford on Sunday 25th May and Middlesbrough on Sunday 15 June, both a 3pm start before returning to Armadale Stadium on Friday 11th July against Leicester Lion Cubs.

Monarchs away match at Scunthorpe will now be a double header with the newly named Steelers team taking on the Academy following the Cab Direct Championship clash.

Supporters can then stay south to follow the team onto Leicester for the Lion Cubs v Academy match on Sunday 27th July.

A home stand on Friday 1st August and Friday 15th August sees the Academy take on Scunthorpe and Oxford respectively before rounding out the season away against Belle Vue Colts on Sunday 7th September from 1pm.

The 2025 National Development League will once again be sponsored by the World Speedway Riders Association (WSRA).
