In 1992, the Ohio Glory played a single season in the World League, marking the last time an outdoor professional football team played in Columbus before the Aviators.
In July 2025, the announcement of the new UFL team in Columbus was made, marking the beginning of the Columbus Aviators.
On October 7, 2025, the team was officially named the Columbus Aviators, selected due to the region's connection to the aeronautics industry and Ohio's slogan as the "birthplace of aviation."
On December 17, 2025, Ted Ginn Jr., a former Ohio State Buckeye and NFL Wide Receiver, was announced as the head coach of the Columbus Aviators.
In 2026, the Columbus Aviators are scheduled to begin play in the United Football League (UFL).
