Portland Timbers News Release


PORTLAND, Ore. - Major League Soccer today announced the full 34-game, 2025 regular season schedule for the Portland Timbers. Portland will celebrate its 50th anniversary season, presented by Toyota, against Cascadia rival Vancouver Whitecaps FC at 1 p.m. (Pacific) on Sunday, February 23 at Providence Park.

The 2025 MLS season marks the 50th anniversary of the Portland Timbers. Founded in 1975, the Timbers have been a beloved part of the Portland sports landscape since their early beginnings in the North American Soccer League, launching the era of "Soccer City USA" in the Rose City.

Portland will celebrate its 50 years as a club with theme nights at Providence Park throughout the campaign presented by Toyota, including Spirit of 75 Night (vs. San Jose - 6/13), 10th Anniversary of MLS Cup Celebration (vs. Real Salt Lake - 7/16), 50th Anniversary Night (vs. Minnesota United FC - 7/19) and Diego Chara Bobblehead Night (vs. FC Cincinnati - 8/16).

2025 Annual Memberships and a special set of 3-game plans highlighting key 50th Anniversary theme night matches are now available at www.timbers.com/tickets. Additional ticket packages and single game ticket sales will be available in January.

Portland will look to defend its 2024 Cascadia Cup title against Vancouver and Seattle Sounders FC in the 2025 season. After hosting Whitecaps FC in the season opener, the Timbers will face them at BC Place on May 31. Portland and Seattle will square off for the first time of the season on May 17 at Providence Park and will close out the Cascadia derby on October 4 at Lumen Field.

The Timbers will square off against six Eastern Conference opponents in the 2024 campaign - three at home (New England Revolution, FC Cincinnati, New York Red Bulls) and three on the road (Nashville SC, Orlando City SC, Toronto FC).

Matching up for the first time, Portland will play expansion-side San Diego FC on August 23 at Snapdragon Stadium. Notably, the Timbers will host San Diego at Providence Park on Decision Day. Decision Day 2025, the final matchday of the MLS regular season with postseason implications on the line, will take place on Saturday, October 18.

The Audi 2025 MLS Cup Playoffs will culminate in Major League Soccer's championship match, 2025 MLS Cup presented by Audi. The schedule for the Audi 2025 MLS Cup Playoffs and MLS Cup presented by Audi will be announced at a later date.

Additionally, Leagues Cup 2025, the official Concacaf tournament between LIGA MX and MLS, will be played July 29 to August 31.
