The Major League Soccer season is coming up in just three short weeks and now we know just where we will be able to watch Portland Timbers matches.

While eight matches this year will be broadcast on ESPN or ESPN2, another five will be on FOX Soccer 1, and the FOX broadcast network will have the Timbers' July 17th match against the Seattle Sounders and July 31st match against Sporting Kansas City nationwide, the rest of the Timbers' matches will be split between ROOT Sports, and KPTV and KPDX. ROOT will feature ten matches, KPTV will broadcast five, and KPDX will broadcast four.

On the call for this season will be Jake Zivin and Ross Smith. Smith has featured regularly for the Timbers for the last two years, while Zivin took over the play-by-play on Timbers broadcasts late last year.

The team also confirmed the return of weekly Timbers show "Timbers in 30", which will air on Fridays during the season at 6:30 p.m. on KPTV.
