The Los Angeles Aviators were a professional ultimate team based in the Greater Los Angeles area. The Aviators competed in the Ultimate Frisbee Association (UFA) as a member of the West Division. The team played their first season in 2015. They suspended operations on November 12, 2025.[1]
The American Ultimate Disc League formally announced the Aviators as an expansion team in October 2014, to compete in the West Division for the 2015 season.[2] During the ensuing offseason, the Aviators signed much of the LA talent pool, as well as luring some players from the San Jose Spiders.[3]
The Aviators earned their first AUDL playoff berth in 2016,[4] and advanced again the following season.[5] In 2018, the Aviators advanced to AUDL Championship Weekend.[6]
