The Western Indoor Soccer League (WISL) is an American semi-professional indoor soccer league. It was formed on June 20, 2014 by a group of arena operators and team owners in the Pacific Northwest. The WISL began its first season on November 15, 2014 with five teams.
Founding member clubs included Arlington Aviators, Bellingham United FC, OlyTown Artesians, Tacoma Stars and Wenatchee Fire.
Many of the founding clubs previously competed in the Premier Arena Soccer League.
Through ten seasons only two clubs (Tacoma Stars Reserves & Bellingham United FC) have won a men's league championship.
