Austin, Texas – Austin FC's first away game of the 2022 MLS season is upon us, and TAG24 has the scoop on what you need to know about the match, and where to watch the game.

The Verde and Black will take on the Portland Timbers on Saturday for its first road test of the club's second season.

After scoring a historic five goals in each of its first two matches, Austin FC is undoubtedly looking to keep up the momentum and go 3-0, but it won't come without its challenges.

With Portland looking for its first win of the season after back-to-back draws in its first two matches, it's likely the Timbers will give Austin FC more of a challenge, especially with a home field advantage at Providence Park.

With a weapon like forward Yimmi Chara and a club looking to avenge its loss to New York City FC in the MLS Cup Final last season, the Timbers are well-equipped to pack a punch on the pitch.

But the Austin FC team Portland will face on Saturday is not the same one it squared off against during the Verde's rather lackluster inaugural season.

Despite ATXFC coming out on top in two of its three matchups against the Timbers in 2021, the club was shut out 3-0 in its last match at the very stadium it's set to play on Saturday night.

Austin FC will need key players like striker Sebastián Driussi, defender Kipp Keller, midfielder Diego Fagúndez, and winger Cecilio Dominguez fully tuned in and aware if they want to remain at the top of the Western Conference.

Those hoping to catch Austin FC's match against the Portland Timbers on Saturday have a few options.

If you'd like to watch the match from the comfort of your home, you can tune into The CW Austin or UniMás. Austin FC will also be streaming the match on its website, and Univision Austin is slated to do the same.

For those who would rather watch the game with a few hundred other Austin FC fans, fret not! There are multiple watch parties taking place in the Capital City – and away from the SXSW madness – to support the club from afar with a cold one in hand.

The "official" watch party for Saturday's match will take place at Parlor & Yard on West Sixth Street, where fans will be treated to Captain Morgan drink specials with their Verde family.
