The 1977 National League was contested in 1977 as the second division of Speedway in the United Kingdom.

Newport had moved down from the British League. Their riders were transferred to Bristol Bulldogs but they acquired new riders and were renamed Newport Dragons. Paisley Lions dropped out so the league had 19 teams, the same as the previous season. Part way through the season, Coatbridge Tigers relocated and changed name to Glasgow Tigers

Eastbourne Eagles won the National League title, completing a league and cup double.
