The 1957 National League was the twelfth post-war season of the highest tier of motorcycle speedway in Great Britain. The closure of Wembley Lions, Bradford Tudors and Poole Pirates left the league with only four teams, so the seven sides in Division Two merged to make a eleven-team first tier and so Division Two became defunct.
Bradford Tudors returned to replace Birmingham Brummies mid-season and Swindon Robins followed up their Division Two title in 1956 with the Division One title in 1957.
