The Portland Timbers are a professional soccer team from Portland, Oregon. They play in Major League Soccer (MLS), which is the top soccer league in the United States and Canada. The Timbers play their home games at Providence Park. They joined MLS as a new team in 2011.

The club started in 2009 when Portland was chosen to have an MLS team. The team is owned by Peregrine Sports. The Timbers name has a long history in Portland soccer. It comes from earlier teams that played in the city, starting with a team in the North American Soccer League (NASL) from 1975 to 1982.

The Timbers have achieved great success. In 2013, they finished first in their conference and made the playoffs for the first time. In 2015, they won their first major trophy, the MLS Cup. This made them the first team from the Cascadia region to win the championship. They also won the MLS is Back Tournament in 2020. In 2021, they were runners-up in the MLS Cup.

The Timbers have strong rivalries with nearby teams. These include the Seattle Sounders and Vancouver Whitecaps FC. They compete with these teams for the Cascadia Cup.

Team History

Early Soccer in Portland

Professional soccer in Portland began with the original Timbers team. This team played in the NASL from 1975 to 1982. In their first year, they reached the championship game, called Soccer Bowl '75, but lost. After that, other soccer teams played in Portland, including the USL Timbers from 2001 to 2010.

The idea of bringing an MLS team to Portland started around 2007. Merritt Paulson, who owned the USL Timbers, worked to make this happen. A big part of the plan was to upgrade PGE Park (now Providence Park) for soccer.

On March 20, 2009, it was announced that the Portland Timbers would join Major League Soccer as the league's eighteenth team. The team kept the well-known Portland Timbers name.

First MLS Seasons (2011–2012)

John Spencer became the Timbers' first head coach in MLS on August 10, 2010. The team also signed several players, including some from the old USL Timbers. In the 2011 MLS Expansion Draft, they picked players from other teams. They also drafted Darlington Nagbe, who became a key player.

The Timbers played their first MLS game on March 19, 2011, losing 3–1 to the Colorado Rapids. Kenny Cooper scored the first MLS goal for the Timbers. In their first season, they finished 6th in the Western Conference.

In July 2012, John Spencer left his coaching role. Gavin Wilkinson took over as interim coach. The Timbers finished the 2012 season in 8th place in the Western Conference. However, they won the Cascadia Cup for the first time in MLS.

Caleb Porter's Time as Coach (2013–2017)

The 2013 season started with a new head coach, Caleb Porter. Under Porter, the Timbers quickly found success. They finished first in the Western Conference and third overall in MLS. A very important player was Diego Valeri, who joined the team that year.

The Timbers also made their first MLS playoff appearance in 2013. They beat their rivals, the Seattle Sounders, in the conference semifinals. They were then knocked out by Real Salt Lake in the conference finals. Because of their strong performance, the Timbers qualified for the CONCACAF Champions League for the first time.

In 2014, the Timbers struggled at the start of the season. They improved later but did not make the playoffs. In the 2014–15 CONCACAF Champions League, they were eliminated in the group stage. Before the 2015 season, they signed new players like Nat Borchers and Adam Larsen Kwarasey.

Winning the MLS Cup (2015)

The 2015 season was the Timbers' fifth year in MLS. It also marked 40 years since the original Timbers team started.

In the 2015 U.S. Open Cup, Portland beat Seattle in a dramatic overtime game. The Timbers then qualified for the MLS Playoffs, finishing third in the Western Conference.

They played against Sporting Kansas City in the first playoff round. The game went to a penalty shootout, which the Timbers won in an exciting 11th round. This game is often called "The Double Post." Portland then beat Vancouver Whitecaps FC to reach the Conference Finals. They defeated FC Dallas to become Western Conference Champions and reach their first-ever MLS Cup.

The Timbers won the 2015 MLS Cup by beating Columbus Crew SC 2–1. Diego Valeri scored the fastest goal in MLS Cup history. This victory made the Portland Timbers the first team in the Cascadia rivalry to win the championship.

Seasons After the Cup (2016–2017)

After winning the MLS Cup, some key players left the Timbers in 2016. The 2016 season was challenging. The team had a good record at home but struggled in away games. They did not win any away matches that season. The Timbers did not make the playoffs in 2016.

In 2017, the team focused on improving its defense and midfield. They signed players like David Guzmán and Sebastián Blanco. Diego Valeri had an amazing season, scoring in nine games in a row, which set a new MLS record. Portland made the playoffs again and finished first in the Western Conference. They also won the Cascadia Cup for the second time in MLS. However, they were eliminated by the Houston Dynamo in the semifinals. Diego Valeri won the Landon Donovan MVP award for his outstanding performance.

Caleb Porter resigned as head coach on November 16, 2017.

Giovanni Savarese's Time as Coach (2018–2023)

On December 18, 2017, Giovanni Savarese became the Timbers' new head coach. In 2018, the team started slowly but finished strong. They reached the MLS Cup final again on December 8, 2018, but lost 2–0 to Atlanta United.

The 2019 season was affected by a big renovation at Providence Park. This meant the Timbers played their first 12 games away from home. They finished 6th in the Western Conference and lost in the first round of the playoffs.

The 2020 Major League Soccer season was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. MLS then held a special "MLS is Back Tournament" in Florida. The Timbers won this tournament, beating Orlando City SC 2–1 in the final. This victory earned them a spot in the CONCACAF Champions League.

In 2021, the Timbers finished fourth in the Western Conference. They made it to their third MLS Cup final, hosting the championship game at Providence Park. After a 1–1 tie, they lost to New York City FC in a penalty shootout.

In 2022, the Timbers did not make the playoffs. The club also made changes to its leadership, with Gavin Wilkinson and Mike Golub leaving their roles. Ned Grabavoy took over some of the front office duties.

In 2023, the Timbers played well in the 2023 Leagues Cup. However, Giovanni Savarese was no longer the head coach after a loss to the Houston Dynamo. He was the winningest coach in the club's MLS history. Assistant coach Miles Joseph became the interim head coach for the rest of the season. The team then hired Phil Neville as coach for the next season.

Phil Neville's Time as Coach (2024–Present)

The Timbers started their 2024 season with a 4–1 win against the Colorado Rapids. They also had a new shirt sponsor, DaBella, but this sponsorship was quickly ended. Tillamook became the new sponsor. The Timbers and Thorns also held a charity match, raising money for environmental groups.

In 2024, the team's offense was strong, with players like Evander, Jonathan Rodríguez, and Felipe Mora scoring many goals. The Timbers finished ninth in the Western Conference, which qualified them for a playoff play-in game. They lost to Vancouver Whitecaps 5–0 in that game. After the season, Evander was sold to FC Cincinnati.

Team Colors and Badge

The Portland Timbers' MLS logo uses parts of their older design. The circle shape means unity and aiming for perfection. The axe represents the Pacific Northwest's logging industry. The three shapes that look like a pine tree show that the Timbers have been part of three different soccer leagues: the original NASL, the United Soccer Leagues, and Major League Soccer. The team's colors, ponderosa green and moss green, represent Oregon's beautiful forests.

In September 2010, Alaska Airlines became the first jersey sponsor for the Portland Timbers. The home jersey was green, and the away jersey was red, honoring Portland as the "Rose City."

In 2021, Portland made a deal with TikTok to be the team's sleeve sponsor. Alaska Airlines ended its sponsorship in 2023. DaBella became a new sponsor in November 2023, but this sponsorship was ended in February 2024. Since 2023, Apple TV+ has been the left sleeve sponsor.

On May 12, 2024, the Timbers announced a new deal with the Tillamook County Creamery Association as their main jersey sponsor. For the 2025 MLS season, Apple created special Apple TV patches for the left sleeves of all clubs' kits. The right sleeve spot is currently open.

Home Stadium

The Timbers play at Providence Park in downtown Portland. They share this stadium with the Portland Thorns, a women's soccer team. The stadium has been around since 1893 and became a full stadium in 1926. Providence Park is the oldest soccer-specific stadium in MLS. It is also one of the most historic places used by a professional soccer team in the United States.

Many important soccer events have happened at Providence Park. These include the Soccer Bowl '77, games from the 1999 and 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup, and the MLS Cup 2021. The Portland Timbers have played at this location since 1975.

In July 2009, the Portland City Council approved a $31 million renovation. This made the stadium ready for the 2011 MLS season. The stadium's seating capacity was increased over the years.

In February 2014, the Timbers signed a deal with Providence Health & Services. This gave the stadium its current name, Providence Park, until at least 2028.

In December 2017, the Portland City Council approved an $85 million expansion project. This added 4,000 more seats to Providence Park, increasing the total capacity to over 25,000. The new section was inspired by famous stadiums like La Bombonera in Argentina. The seats on the East End spell out "SC USA," meaning "Soccer City USA."

The expanded Providence Park opened on July 1, 2019. The Timbers played LAFC in front of a sold-out crowd of 25,218 fans. This expansion made Providence Park the 4th-largest soccer-specific stadium in MLS.

2013–2018	21,144

Team Culture

Supporters

The Timbers had a record-breaking streak of 163 sold-out home games. This lasted from their MLS start in 2011 until the pandemic in 2020–2021. The team limits season ticket sales to 15,300. At one point, 10,000 people were on a waiting list for season tickets.

The main fan group for the Portland Timbers is called the Timbers Army. They are known for their loud and excited support. They create a lively atmosphere at games with drumming, flags, scarves, and constant chanting. Many people consider the Timbers Army to be one of the best fan groups in the country.

The Timbers Army started in 2001 as the Cascade Rangers. They gathered in section 107 of PGE Park to cheer on the team. By 2002, they changed their name to Timbers Army. This was to avoid any confusion with other soccer clubs. By 2012, the Timbers Army had over 4,000 members at each game.

In 2019, the Timbers Army had a disagreement with MLS. This was about using the Iron Front symbol on their flags. MLS banned the symbol, saying it was "political." The Timbers Army argued that opposing fascism, racism, and sexism was not political. They protested by staying silent for the first 33 minutes of a game against Seattle. This protest gained a lot of attention.

After the protests, MLS officials met with the Timbers Army and other fan groups. On September 24, 2019, the league changed its policy. They allowed the Iron Front symbol to be used again. This showed how powerful fan groups can be in American sports.

Rivalries

The Cascadia Cup is a trophy competed for by three soccer clubs in the Cascadia region. These teams are the Timbers, Seattle Sounders FC, and Vancouver Whitecaps FC. These teams have been rivals since the original NASL in the 1970s. They also played together in the USL from 2001 to 2008.

In 2004, fans of the three clubs created the Cascadia Cup. It is given each year to the team with the best record in games against the other two. The Cup moved to MLS in 2011 when all three teams joined the league. Portland has won the Cup six times: in 2009, 2010, 2012, 2017, 2022, and 2024.

Portland was the first team from Cascadia to win the MLS Cup in 2015.

Seattle Sounders

The Portland Timbers have a long-standing rivalry with the Seattle Sounders FC. This rivalry goes back to 1975 in the original North American Soccer League. It continued when both teams joined MLS in 2011.

Because the two cities are close, fans from both sides create intense atmospheres when visiting the other team's stadium. Many players say this is one of the few true local rivalries in American soccer. It is known as one of the most intense rivalries in MLS and North American soccer.

The rivalry became even stronger in the 2013 MLS playoffs. The Timbers beat Seattle in their first-ever MLS playoff matchup. In the 2018 playoffs, Portland again defeated Seattle in a dramatic series that went to penalty kicks.

Portland has never lost to Seattle in the MLS Playoffs. However, Seattle has beaten Portland several times in the US Open Cup.

Vancouver Whitecaps

The Vancouver Whitecaps FC are the third team in the Cascadia rivalry. They also moved to MLS with Portland in 2011.

Compared to the Portland-Seattle rivalry, the Portland-Vancouver rivalry is seen as "friendlier." Fans of both clubs even celebrated together after Vancouver beat Portland in the 2010 USL Playoffs. This was because both teams were moving to MLS the next year. One reason for the less intense rivalry might be that Portland is closer to Seattle than Vancouver. Also, Vancouver has not had the same level of consistent success in MLS as the other two Cascadia clubs.

Many Whitecaps players still see the Timbers as their biggest rival. As of 2020, Portland has a better record against Vancouver in MLS games.

During the Timbers' 2015 MLS Cup run, they defeated Vancouver in the Western Conference semifinals.

Other Teams

Portland fans often dislike teams from Los Angeles in all sports. This is also true in MLS. The Timbers had tough games against LAFC in 2018 and 2019. An MLS writer even called it a "new rivalry." In 2020, Timbers midfielder Sebastian Blanco said that LAFC was Portland's biggest rival outside of Cascadia. He added that he "loves to play those games" against LAFC and the LA Galaxy. In the 2020 MLS is Back Tournament, Portland played both LAFC and LA Galaxy. They beat the Galaxy and tied LAFC, eventually winning the tournament.

Mascot

During the NASL and USL years, the team's mascot was a lumberjack named Timber Jim. He retired on January 24, 2008.

Timber Joey became the new official mascot on June 14, 2008. He continued Jim's tradition of cutting a "cookie" (a round slice) from a large log with a chainsaw every time the Timbers score a goal. This cookie is given to the player who scored after the game. If the team does not let the other team score (a shutout), the goalkeeper also gets a cookie. Timber Joey has his own special jersey.

Broadcasting

Since 2023, all Timbers matches can be streamed on MLS Season Pass through the Apple TV app. Before this, Timbers games were often shown on local TV channels in Portland.

Before 2023, games not shown on national TV were broadcast by Root Sports Northwest. Some games were also shown on Fox affiliate KPTV or MyNetworkTV affiliate KPDX. The team also had a network that showed games in other parts of Oregon. KPTV also airs a weekly show called Timbers in 30.

On the radio, all Timbers games are broadcast in English on KXL (750 AM). They are also broadcast in Spanish on KXET (1150 AM and 93.FM). KXL also has a weekly radio show about the team called Talk Timbers.
