How To Watch Portland Thorns Tonight |
Channel Surfing? We Got This.
First things first, where's the game even airing? Grab your remote, because depending on the night (and let's face it, the whims of the TV gods), you might find the Thorns battling it out on:
- Amazon Prime Video: Yep, you read that right. Sometimes, you gotta channel your inner Jeff Bezos to watch Tobin Heath score a screamer. Make sure you have a Prime subscription!
- ION Television: This hidden gem might surprise you. Catch the Thorns on ION for some good old-fashioned, antenna-powered soccer.
- CBS or Paramount+: Channel surfing royalty, these networks occasionally grace us with NWSL matches. Check your local listings or Paramount+ schedule.
Still lost? Don't worry, we've all been there. The National Women's Soccer League website has a handy dandy "How to Watch" section that breaks it all down. They even have a schedule that'll tell you exactly where to find the Thorns each week. Just sayin'.
Streaming Samurai? We See You.
Maybe cable cords are a relic of the past for you. No worries, fellow streamer! Here's your breakdown:
QuickTip: Reading twice makes retention stronger.
- NWSL+: This is the official streaming service of the National Women's Soccer League. For a subscription fee, you get access to pretty much every Thorns match (and the rest of the NWSL too!).
- ESPN+: If you're already subscribed to ESPN+, you might be in luck! Some NWSL matches, including occasional Thorns games, are available for streaming.
Remember: These are just the usual suspects. Double-check the NWSL website or your preferred streaming service for confirmation before kickoff.
Game Time Grub? Crucial Decisions.
Now that you know how to watch, let's talk about the real MVP: snacks. Here are some suggestions to fuel your Thorns fandom:
- Classic Stadium Nachos: Because, well, it's practically the law.
- Spicy Edamame: Healthy-ish and perfect for celebrating goals (or commiserating bad calls by the ref).
- DIY Pizza Party: Channel your inner chef and whip up some custom Thorns-themed pizzas. (Rose City red sauce, anyone?)
Bonus points: Wear your favorite Thorns jersey while you cheer. It might not help the team win, but it'll definitely boost your team spirit.
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
