Kelsy and the Portland Timbers host FC Dallas after World Cup break

Summary by The Fort Worth Editorial Desk · Based on reporting from NBC DFW · July 22, 2026 · 2 min read

For FC Dallas, restarting the season after the World Cup is, as they say in show business, a tough act to follow. Dallas (7-4-4, sixth in the Western Conference) plays the Portland Timbers (5-8-2, 12th in the Western Conference) in Oregon on Wednesday, 9:30 p.m. CST LINE: Portland +136, FC Dallas +1

Why this matters in The Fort Worth

FC Dallas' return to action after the World Cup break will be closely watched by fans in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, particularly as they face the Portland Timbers in Oregon. The team's unusual stretch of nine straight road matches, which was interrupted by the World Cup pause, will resume with this game. Local supporters will be eager to see how FC Dallas performs, given their current sixth-place standing in the Western Conference. With 30 goals scored, led by Logan Farrington's six goals, the team has shown promise, and their matchup against the Timbers will be a key test of their abilities. As the team looks to regain momentum, fans in Fort Worth and the surrounding areas will be paying attention to how they fare against the Timbers, who are led by Kevin Kelsy's seven goals. The outcome of this game will have implications for FC Dallas' standing in the Western Conference.
