The Spokane Shock is a professional arena football franchise based in Spokane Valley, Washington. They compete in the spectator sports industry and play home games at the Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena, representing a long-standing presence in the regional arena football scene.

With a small to mid-sized organizational footprint, the Shock have established a local fan base and operate as part of the wider North American arena football landscape built on regional engagement and competition.
