After a wonderfully short offseason, we now know what the Portland Timbers' schedule will be for the 2016 season. Two weeks after Major League Soccer announced the home openers for every team in the league, MLS has announced the full season's schedule.
With no new teams entering the league in 2016, the Timbers find themselves with the same schedule structure as last season: one game -- half home and half away -- against each team in the Eastern Conference, one home and one away game against each team in the Western Conference, and six additional "rivalry" games against Western Conference teams to bring their total number of matches played up to 34 for the season.
