The 1931 Northern League was the third season of speedway racing in the United Kingdom for Northern British teams, but the final season of the Northern League before amalgamation with the Southern League.[1]

Following the closure of several clubs from the previous season, only 6 sides started the season and only 4 finished it. There were many team changes from the previous season. Liverpool, Manchester White City, Warrington, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Rochdale, Barnsley and Wombwell were all no longer participants, while Leeds rejoined after a year's absence.[1]

Belle Vue Aces retained their title, Glasgow White City and Leicester Super withdrew in mid-season but their results stood.[1]
