The Oakland Spiders are a professional Ultimate Frisbee team based in Oakland, California. The Spiders are members of the West Division of the Ultimate Frisbee Association (UFA, formerly AUDL). The team was founded as the San Jose Spiders in 2014 when the league expanded to the West Coast,[1] and played under that name until moving to Oakland in 2022.[2] The Spiders won the National Championship in their first season and became the first team in the league's history to win consecutive titles when they defeated the Madison Radicals in the 2015 championship game.[3]
