The Russian Team Speedway Championships is an annual motorcycle speedway event held each year and organised by the Motorcycle Federation of Russia to determine the champions of Russia.
From 1962 until 1992 the competition was for teams in the Soviet Union but then following the dissolution of the Soviet Union it became the Russian Championship. However, due to the lack of team competitions in the former Soviet Republics, several teams continued to participate in the league, most notably Lokomotiv Daugavpils of Latvia and the Rivne club of Ukraine.
From 2017 only four teams have competed in the highest division of the championship.
From 2022, the competition was somewhat isolated following the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme ban on Russian and Belarusian motorcycle riders, teams, officials, and competitions as a result of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
