The Western Division is one of four divisions that make up the Arena Football League. It is also one of two divisions that make up the "American Conference". It currently consists of the Arizona Rattlers, the Los Angeles Avengers, the San Jose SaberCats, and the Utah Blaze. The Rattlers were formed in 1992 as an expansion team. The Avengers were formed in 2000 as an expansion team. The SaberCats were formed as an expansion team in 1995. The Blaze were formed in 2006 as an expansion team.
