The non-Gaussian part of the covariance matrix of the galaxy power spectrum involves the connected four-point correlation in Fourier space, i.e. trispectrum. This paper introduces a fast method to compute the non-Gaussian part of the covariance matrix of the galaxy power spectrum multipoles in redshift space at tree-level standard perturbation theory. For the tree-level galaxy trispectrum, the angular integral between two wavevectors can be evaluated analytically by employing an FFTLog. The new implementation computes the non-Gaussian covariance of the power spectrum monopole, quadrupole, hexadecapole and their cross-covariance in O(10) seconds, for an effectively arbitrary number of instances of cosmological and galaxy bias parameters and redshift, without any parallelization or acceleration. It is a large advantage over conventional numerical integration. We demonstrate that the computation of the covariance at k = 0.005 - 0.4 h Mpc⁻¹ gives results with 0.1 - 1% accuracy. The efficient computation of the analytic covariance can be useful for future galaxy surveys, especially utilizing multi-tracer analysis.
