The British Superbike Championship (BSB), known for sponsorship reasons as the Bennetts British Superbike Championship, is a road racing championship for superbike class machines in the United Kingdom, and is acknowledged to be the premier domestic superbike racing series in the world.[1][2]

The championship is managed and organised by MotorSport Vision,[3] which also owns many of the circuits the series visits. The Series and Race Director is Stuart Higgs, with event marshals provided by the Racesafe Marshals Association.[4]

The series typically races over twelve rounds from April to October, with the series concluding in a three-round 'Showdown', where the top six riders are awarded points based on their podium finishes from the previous nine rounds and then compete over three rounds and seven races for the title.[5] The Showdown format was introduced in 2010 in order to prevent a rider from making a runaway victory in the championship.

From 2008, the championship followed the Superbike World Championship in appointing Pirelli as the single control tyre supplier.[6]
