San Diego FC came into the match sitting on 11 points from nine MLS games, with a record of three wins, two draws and four losses. The club's consecutive losses on the road grew their losing streak to four matches, having gone winless through their last seven games in all competitions. The detrimental disciplinary problems continued in SDFC’s midweek 1-0 loss to the Houston Dynamo, with forward Amahl Pellegrino being handed a red card in the 79-minute of the match, a sixth sending off for the club within their last eight matches.
In 2025, these two clubs faced off five times, with SDFC on the winning end in three matches, including their 2025 MLS Cup Round One series victory over the Timbers. The Timbers were first to the goal sheet in this first meeting of the 2026 campaign, with forward Kevin Kelsy taking advantage of an SDFC playing-from-their-back turnover to get the 1-0 score in the 26-minute. Kevin Kelsy with the takeaway and finish to put @TimbersFC out front.
