PORTLAND, OR - April 6, 2026 - Audacy will become the official radio home of the Portland Fire and Portland Thorns, bringing both teams' games to radio for the first time as part of a new partnership with the two organizations.
910 ESPN Portland (KMTT-AM) will serve as the flagship for the Portland Fire, kicking off the regular season on May 9 against the Chicago Sky. Select games will also simulcast on 105.1 The Fan (KRSK-FM). During the season, radio broadcasts will include pre- and postgame shows and live on-site coverage.
All Portland Thorns games will air on KNKR-2 (KNRK-HD2) with ten select games airing on 910 ESPN Portland. Coverage started March 13 with the match against the Washington Spirit, led by play-by-play voice Lily Crane and former University of Portland All-American goalkeeper Angela Harrison. Crane will call all games this season with a rotating cast of local soccer icons as color analysts. Fans can also stream all live games on the Audacy app within the Portland area.
