Portland Timbers TV Schedule and Live Stream Guide
Portland Timbers remain one of Major League Soccer’s most recognisable clubs, carrying a name and football culture that long pre-date their current MLS era. The modern club was formed in 2009 after Portland secured an expansion place and began MLS competition in 2011, but the Timbers identity reaches back to a side that played in the North American Soccer League from 1975.
That earlier history helped establish Portland’s standing as “Soccer City USA”, a reputation the MLS team has continued to strengthen. The Timbers won their first MLS Cup in 2015 and added the MLS is Back Tournament title in 2020, while their meetings with Seattle Sounders and Vancouver Whitecaps have remained among the league’s most intense regional fixtures.

A selection of nationally selected regular-season games, along with certain play-off matches, is shown on Fox Sports 1.
The club’s prominent position within MLS has also made it the subject of several football documentaries. The Magic Was Real, a 35-minute film, focuses on Portland’s 2015 MLS Cup-winning campaign. CONCACAF Beyond the Pitch: Portland Timbers & Thorns examines the city’s MLS and NWSL teams, while The Rivalry takes a mockumentary approach to the long-running contest with Seattle.
