Major League Soccer is back, and this article will explain how to watch the next Portland Timbers match and every Portland Timbers match throughout the 2023 MLS season and Leagues Cup, no matter where you live.
Watching Portland Timbers Matches All Season
MLS Matches will not stream on ESPN+ this season. Furthermore, there are no local broadcasts this season for any MLS Team. To watch every Portland Timbers match you are going to want a subscription to MLS Season Pass.
MLS Season Pass
Apple has the streaming rights to not only Portland Timbers matches but every MLS match this season. You can steam every MLS match using the Apple TV+ app if you have a subscription to MLS Season Pass (sign up here.) There are no blackout restrictions, so you can even watch games that are airing nationally on FOX or FS1.
MLS Season Pass will let you watch every MLS regular season match, along with every MLS Playoff and Cup match in the US and from over 100 countries around the world. The one exception is Mexico, where you can not stream Leagues Cup matches. The service’s pricing is as follows
- If you are already an Apple TV+ subscriber: $12.99/month or $29.99/season
- If you are not an Apple TV+ subscriber: $14.99/month or $29.99/season
If you are an MLS season ticket holder, you have a subscription to MLS Season Pass already included as a part of your MLS season Ticket package.
Once you subscribe to MLS Season Pass, you can watch Portland Timbers matches along with other MLS matches through the Apple TV+ app. To watch, just download the Apple TV+ app to one of the following supported devices and log in.
