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

Summary by The Dallas Editorial Desk · Based on reporting from NBC5 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...

Why this matters in The Dallas

The return of FC Dallas to the pitch after the World Cup break brings a welcome focus back to local soccer fans. As the team prepares to face the Portland Timbers, Dallas supporters will be watching closely to see how their squad performs after a lengthy hiatus. With FC Dallas sitting sixth in the Western Conference, a strong showing against the Timbers could help the team regain momentum and make a push for a higher ranking. The fact that FC Dallas was in the midst of a grueling nine-game road stretch when the season paused adds an extra layer of complexity to their situation, and fans will be eager to see how the team adjusts to being back in action. As the city of Dallas looks to its local team for entertainment and pride, a win against the Timbers would be a great way for FC Dallas to get back on track and give their fans something to cheer about.
