AUDL 2016 Appearances on ESPN3

The American Ultimate Disc League announced their livestream ESPN3 schedule for the 2016 season. A total of 12 regular season games plus some postseason games will be broadcast. In 2015, AUDL streamed 14 regular season games on ESPN3. The majority of 2016 teams will have at least one game live streamed on ESPN3, but not all.


  • The Revolution will not be televised
  • Both new (2016) teams are on the ESPN3 schedule - Austin Sol, Dallas Roughnecks
  • 3 of 9 teams without any ESPN3 games are original (2012) AUDL teams - AlleyCats, Mechanix, Revolution
  • Two (2) AUDL 2015 playoff teams are not scheduled for any ESPN3 games - Montreal Royal, San Jose Spiders
