Updated October 24, 2026: Portland Timbers are scheduled to host Charlotte FC in a 2026 MLS regular-season match at Providence Park. The latest official club and league listings continue to show a 7:30 p.m. kickoff in Portland on Saturday, October 24. That is 10:30 p.m. in Charlotte on the same Saturday and 02:30 UTC on Sunday, October 25. Apple TV remains the listed streaming destination.
The MLS player status report for Saturday lists players from both teams as out. These are availability designations, not a confirmed starting lineup or a forecast for when anyone will return. Check the official match center for lineup and match updates as kickoff approaches.

The Portland Timbers matchday notice confirms the home fixture at Providence Park and a 7:30 p.m. PT start. Charlotte FC’s How to Watch notice lists 10:30 p.m. ET and links to Apple TV. MLS’s Charlotte schedule identifies the October 24 regular-season fixture, Portland, Providence Park, and Apple TV.
The game’s Portland date is Saturday evening, but UTC is seven hours ahead of Portland on October 24. Therefore, 7:30 p.m. PDT converts to 02:30 UTC on Sunday, October 25. Charlotte is three hours ahead of Portland, so the same instant is 10:30 p.m. EDT on Saturday. These are three ways of labeling one scheduled kickoff, not separate start times.
Both cities are still observing daylight saving time on October 24, 2026. The National Institute of Standards and Technology says the U.S. change back to standard time occurs on November 1, 2026. That later clock change does not affect this match’s October offsets. When adding the event to a calendar or sharing a reminder, include the city or time-zone abbreviation to avoid confusing the Saturday local date with Sunday in UTC.
MLS’s Matchday 32 Player Status Report lists the following players as out for the Saturday, October 24 slate:
| Club | Players listed out |
|---|---|
| Portland Timbers | Alex Bonetig (shoulder), Brandon Bye (knee), Zac McGraw (back), and Juan Mosquera (foot/ankle) |
| Charlotte FC | Nimfasha Berchimas (lower body), Brandt Bronico (lower body), Will Cleary (illness), Archie Goodwin (lower body), and Aron John (upper body) |
The report records those players as “Out.” It does not supply a return date, explain the full medical context, or confirm who will start in their places. Avoid treating an absence as evidence of a long-term injury or drawing conclusions about a player’s recovery from the listing alone. The final starting XIs and any matchday changes should be checked in the official match center.
For discipline, MLS’s disciplinary summary dated October 20 does not name a Portland or Charlotte player among the suspensions scheduled for October 24. It lists Charlotte’s Djibril Diani, David Schnegg, and Ashley Westwood as one caution away from suspension or a fine. A caution warning is not itself a suspension; it is separate from the matchday report’s “Out” designations. The published report is time-specific, so consult the league’s latest notice if it is updated before kickoff.
Apple TV is the listed streaming option for the fixture. The clubs’ notices and MLS’s How to Watch page say that an Apple TV subscription carries the 2026 MLS season, including regular-season matches, with no blackouts. Open the Apple TV app or the service’s website, sign in to the account with an active subscription, and look for the Portland Timbers–Charlotte FC live event. Confirm the match title and scheduled start in the listing before selecting it.
Portland’s matchday notice also lists radio coverage on 94.7 FM KNRK in English and La GranD 1150 AM/93.5 FM in Spanish. Charlotte lists WFNZ 92.7 FM in English and 106.1 FM WOLS in Spanish. These are station frequencies associated with the clubs’ broadcast areas; availability of an online stream can depend on the station and location.
Portland is the home team, and the fixture is scheduled at Providence Park in Portland, Oregon. The Timbers’ matchday notice says the first 10,000 fans will receive a Providence Park centennial commemorative patch. Fans going to the stadium should check the club’s current matchday information for ticket, entry, and event details, since promotional items are limited and stadium instructions may be updated.
