In 2010, Strong was the play-by-play announcer for the Portland Timbers and in 2011 became the regular play-by-play announcer for Timbers broadcasts on FSN Northwest. He was a regular commentator on Europa League games for Fox Soccer, notably calling the 2013 UEFA Europa League Final between Chelsea and Benfica. After the 2012–13 season, he moved to NBC Sports to cover Major League Soccer and Premier League football. After NBC's loss of Major League Soccer coverage to Fox Sports in 2014, it was announced that Strong was moving full-time to Fox Sports to head the Major League Soccer, and Women's World Cup coverage. Strong was previously working part-time for Fox when he was not obligated to his NBC duties. In 2015, Strong also began to serve as the lead play-by-play voice for most United States men's national soccer team matches broadcast on &lt;a href="Soccer%20on%20Fox%20Sports"&gt;Fox/Fox Sports 1&lt;/a&gt; because of a new television contract between U.S. Soccer, Fox Sports, and &lt;a href="Soccer%20on%20ESPN/ABC"&gt;ESPN/ABC&lt;/a&gt;. Brad Friedel joined him as the lead color commentator for these matches. He and lead color commentator Stuart Holden called the Fox broadcast of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, including the final.
