Dynamo Close Their Road Schedule Sunday Night at Portland, Chasing Seeding After the Seattle Shutout
Houston Dynamo FC finishes its regular-season road schedule Sunday night at the Portland Timbers (8:45 p.m. CT, Providence Park), four nights after a 1-0 win at Seattle - the club's record-tying 13th clean sheet - moved the Dynamo into the Western Conference's top four.
HOUSTON - The last road match of Houston Dynamo FC's regular season is a late one. The Dynamo visit the Portland Timbers at Providence Park on Sunday night, with kickoff at 8:45 p.m. CT - the second leg of a two-match Pacific Northwest road trip, carried on FS1 and Apple TV.
Houston travels with real form behind it. On Wednesday night in Seattle, the Dynamo beat Sounders FC 1-0 for their 13th clean sheet of the season, tying the club's single-season record set in 2007 and matched in 2023. The win moved Houston into the top four in the Western Conference table, even on points with third-place St. Louis and three points out of second, with playoff seeding still live in the season's final days.
The Dynamo's playoff place itself is already secured - Houston clinched its Audi 2026 MLS Cup Playoffs berth on October 17 - so Sunday night is about position: where the club opens the postseason, and whether the road form that produced the Seattle shutout carries into November.
The match closes a Houston soccer Sunday that begins across town in the afternoon, when the Houston Dash host Portland's Thorns at Shell Energy Stadium in their own regular-season finale. By midnight, both of the city's Portland matchups will be in the books.
