Oceanside Bombers

The Oceanside Bombers is a professional arena football team based in Oceanside, California, that represents the San Diego region. They are currently members of Arena Football One and are slated to play their home games at the Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, also the present home of the San Diego Strike Force or the Indoor Football League.

History

On November 12, 2025, AF1 officials and local community leaders welcomed the league's newest expansion team, the Oceanside Bombers despite unsubstantiated leaks brought forth by independent journalists that were dismissed initially as rumors. Oceanside mayor Esther C. Sanchez was quoted as saying, “This is a proud day for Oceanside.”
The Bombers will be the only AF1 franchise to be directly competing in the same market as an Indoor Football League franchise, as the IFL's San Diego Strike Force holds the lease on Oceanside's main indoor arena, Frontwave Arena, through 2027.
