The 2024 FIM Speedway Grand Prix of Poland is the second, sixth, eighth and eleventh rounds of the 2024 Speedway Grand Prix season (the World Championship).[1]

The second round took place on 11 May 2024 at the Stadion Narodowy in Warsaw. The sixth round took place at the Edward Jancarz Stadium in Gorzów Wielkopolski on 29 June. The eighth round was held on 31 August at the Olympic Stadium in Wrocław and the eleventh and final round was held on 28 September at the MotoArena Toruń in Toruń.[1]

The rounds are the 61st to 64th Speedway Grand Prix of Poland respectively.[2]

A new sprint race was introduced during the qualifying session (at selected Grand Prix), with the fastest rider in each qualifying session progressing to a single race for extra points. The idea behind the sprint race was similar to that brought into the Formula One, whereby the qualifying sessions were given more importance.[3] The Polish-Warsaw Grand Prix was the first time that the sprint had been held.

The Warsaw Grand Prix was won by Jason Doyle, which was his first Grand Prix win since Melbourne in 2017.[4] The Gorzów Grand Prix was won by Freddie Lindgren (his 7th career Grand Prix win).[5] During the Gorzów round Tai Woffinden crashed heavily and was taken to hospital, potentially ending his season.[6]

The Wrocław Grand Prix was won by Martin Vaculík (his 9th career Grand Prix win).[7]

The Toruń Grand Prix was the final event of the 2024 season was won by Bartosz Zmarzlik (his 26th career Grand Prix win). Zmarzlik had already sealed the world title during round ten of the Championship.[8]
