The Portland Timbers have finally laid out their own television schedule after it was unveiled a few weeks ago that the Portland Timbers would be on the receiving end of eleven nationally televised games (not including Unimas). The schedule essentially mirrors what we've already come to expect, however, with stalwarts ROOT SPORTS, Fox 12 KPTV, and KPDX once again taking up the duties for showing the matches that are not nationally televised.
Here's the schedule:

As you can see all of the Seattle Sounders games and the New York Red Bull game will be nationally televised. However, only two of the LA Galaxy matches will be televised giving some the opportunity to watch it over the air on Fox 12.
Other notable games that will be televised locally or regionally include all three games against the Vancouver Whitecaps. Other than that it's pretty much standard affair.
Are there any games that you're looking forward to particularly?
