Portland Timbers host FC Dallas in playoff Game 2

The Portland Timbers will host FC Dallas at Providence Park on Saturday, Nov. 28, for Game 2 of their best-of-three Audi 2026 MLS Cup Playoffs series.

According to timbers.com, tickets for the Portland match go on presale Monday, Nov. 9, at 12pm PT for 2026 and 2027 Annual Members and mini plan buyers. The general public can purchase tickets starting at 2pm PT that same day.

This matchup follows a regular season finale where Portland secured a 2-0 road victory against Austin FC. That win allowed the Timbers to clinch the seventh seed in the Western Conference, marking the club’s highest postseason finish since 2021.

The decisive goals in that final match came from Ariel Lassiter, who scored in the first three minutes, and Kristoffer Velde, who scored in the 70th minute.

The path to Providence Park

The series begins in Texas, where the Timbers travel to Toyota Stadium in Frisco to face FC Dallas on Saturday, Nov. 21. That opening match is scheduled for a 1pm PT kickoff.

Because FC Dallas holds the second seed, they will serve as the home team for a potential deciding match. If the series reaches a third game, Dallas will host on Wednesday, Dec. 2.

The postseason structure puts pressure on the Portland home leg. While the Timbers enter as the lower seed, the home atmosphere at Providence Park remains a critical factor in their attempt to upset the higher-ranked Dallas side.

The Timbers’ historical postseason record includes 12 wins, 9 losses, and 8 draws. This includes three appearances in the MLS Cup in 2015, 2018, and 2021, with a championship title won in 2015.
