West Michigan Edge are an American soccer team, founded in 1995. The team is a member of the United Soccer Leagues Premier Development League (PDL), the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid, and play in the Midwest Division of the Central Conference against teams from Chicago, Fort Wayne, Kalamazoo and South Bend.

The team played as Grand Rapids Explosion from 1995 to 1998, before changing their name to Western Michigan Explosion prior to the 1999 season, and adopting their current monicker in 2000.

The Edge are currently without a permanent home, and play their home games at various locations in western Michigan: primarily in the stadium at Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, Michigan, but also in the stadium at Crestwood Middle School in Kentwood, Michigan, and at Forest Hills Central High School and East Grand Rapids Memorial Field, also in Grand Rapids. The team's colors are red, white and blue.
