Portland Timbers Name Bank of America as 2026 Jersey Sponsor in Community-Focused Partnership

The multi-year deal centers on concrete investments to expand community access to soccer.

Overview

  • Bank of America will appear on the Timbers’ home and away kits beginning in 2026, marking its first placement on a professional sports jersey.
  • The partnership brings Bank of America’s Soccer with Us to Oregon and Southwest Washington, including 10 futsal courts, 50 free camps for 5,000 youth, and 250 PTFC Camp scholarships.
  • An Equipped to Play initiative will provide $200,000 in gear for local schools and community groups, supporting 1,000 youth including Special Olympics athletes.
  • Small-business programs include 100 first-time tickets per match, $5,000 grants to 50 featured businesses over the partnership, and an annual Small Business Summit at Providence Park.
  • Tillamook moves from the front of the jersey to a sleeve patch and continues community support, as club leaders say the sponsorship bolsters resources to compete in a costlier MLS.
