The Thorns finished first, winning the NWSL Shield, an improvement over their sixth-place finish in the 2015 season. They lost their opening game of the 2016 NWSL Championship tournament (playoffs). Background 2015 Portland Thorns FC season Season review April The Thorns began their season at Providence Park as they faced off against expansion team Orlando Pride in the latter's inaugural match. Former Thorn Steph Catley was able to strike first for Orlando in the 12th minute. Portland would soon respond with goals from Dagný Brynjarsdóttir in the 25th minute and Linsey Horan in the 81st minute. Both goals would be assisted by captain Tobin Heath. Thorns FC would win their home opener 2–1. For their last match in April, the Thorns traveled to Kansas City where they would receive a 1–1 draw. Shea Groom was able to strike first with a goal in the 30th minute; however, Lindsey Horan was able to level for the Thorns in the 78th minute, again assisted by Tobin Heath.

The Thorns would end up winning 1–0. The Thorns traveled to D.C. to take on the Washington Spirit. The team would end up drawing 0–0 with Tobin Heath acquiring two yellow cards, thus suspending her for the next match against local rivals Seattle Reign FC. The Thorns finished their 4 away matches in Seattle as they faced off against Reign FC. Nadia Nadim would score her first of the season with an assist by Meg Morris; however, Seattle would respond within 3 minutes by a goal from Beverly Yanez, equalizing at 1-1. Both teams would settle for the draw. In the first of a two-game home stand, the Thorns secured a 3–1 win over the then-first-place Washington Spirit. In their last game of the month, missing 6 starters due to USWNT call-ups, the Thorns played Seattle to a 0–0 draw.

French international Amandine Henry made her first appearance as a Thorn as a second-half substitute in that game. The Thorns played a crucial match against Chicago Red Stars to determine who would remain in first place. The Thorns prevailed with a 2–0 win with goals from Christine Sinclair and Nadia Nadim with an assist from Henry, who also started for the first time for the club. Continuing their unbeaten streak (11 games without a loss from the beginning of the season to the end of June), the Thorns traveled to Florida to take on Orlando Pride. The Thorns would win it 2–1, with goals from Dagný Brynjarsdóttir and Lindsey Horan. Position at the end of June main WDL Q POR Portland Thorns FC 6 5 0 16 6 #BBF3BB NWSL Shield Q complete July The Thorns opened July play without 6 starters due to USWNT and CanWNT Olympics preparations for a home game against Sky Blue. Amandine Henry would join the French national team after the game. The starting lineup included players who previously had seen limited professional minutes or even earning her first start. Sky Blue scored first and the Thorns came back to win 2–1 with goals from Dagný and Nadim to extend their season-opening unbeaten streak to 12 games. For their second match for the month, the Thorns took on FC Kansas City at home. Now without 7 starting players and using their new amateur players (via a rule that allowed a team to bring in non-paid players when national players go on duty), the Thorns would suffer their first loss of the season, falling 2–1 with the only Thorns goal scorer being Kat Williamson, who was assisted by Dagný Brynjarsdóttir. The Thorns then went on the road and continuing the stretch without their Olympians, this time also without Dagný as well, lost 3–0 to the 9th-place Houston Dash. In their last game of both July and before the league-wide Olympics break, the Thorns hosted Seattle Reign at Providence Park. Playing their first 5-4-1 formation of the season, Mana Shim passed to Nadia Nadim who headed home the game's only goal and the Thorns remained in 1st place.

The Thorns traveled to Seattle at the end of the month and fell 3–1 to the Reign. Position at the end of August main WDL Q POR 2 Portland Thorns FC 8 5 3 21 15 #D0F0C0 NWSL Playoffs Q complete September The Thorns started off their final month in NWSL League play on a busy week with 3 matches in 7 days. The team, fully reunited after the Olympics, hosted Boston Breakers where the Thorns took a dominating 5–1 victory, keeping them in the race for the NWSL Shield. Continuing their busy week, Portland Thorns took on Houston Dash. In the 19th minute, Portland fans and team members learned from a message on the big screen that they had clinched a playoff berth with Seattle Reign's loss to Washington Spirit. The Thorns started off strong with a brace from Allie Long in the 26th and 71st minute, both goals assisted by Tobin Heath. Christine Sinclair would finish up by scoring in the 90th minute and shutting out Houston 3–0, giving goalkeeper Michelle Betos 4 clean sheets for the season so far. To conclude the stretch of 3 games in 8 days, the Thorns played the Western New York Flash in front of their only sold-out crowd of the year, with 21,144 announced attendance. The Thorns went ahead 3-0 only to concede 2 goals within 4 minutes late in the game, but hung on to win and clinch a home playoff match. On Sunday September 25, the Thorns clinched the NWSL Shield with a win over Sky Blue FC and a Washington Spirit loss to the Chicago Red Stars. The Thorns hosted Western New York Flash in the semi-finals for the NWSL Playoffs, losing a physical match 4–3 in overtime.
