Watching the Portland Timbers on TV this year may have gotten just a bit easier. A source within the club confirmed today that all local Portland Timbers broadcasts will be on the local channel Fox 12 Plus. The channel is available without having to acquire a cable subscription and is able to be picked up over the air via digital antennae.
Replays of matches will be on ROOT Sports Northwest and will still remain a broadcast partner with the Timbers.
This is a change from season’s past. In previous years, Timbers games that were not broadcast by national television outlets (ESPN/ABC, or FS1/FOX) were put on either Fox 12 Plus or ROOT Sports Northwest.
