Portland Debate Club

Portland debates differently — and that's the point. Craft beer, craft arguments. The most passionately opinionated city in the Pacific Northwest.

New here? Here's what Portland Debate Club is about.

Just getting started — be part of the first debate.

Show up

No experience needed — beginners to pros, all welcome.

Get matched & debate

Structured 1v1 to 5v5 debates with real judging.

It’s free

Sharpen how you think and argue, in good company.

This club is looking for its founding leader

Someone gets to be the reason Portland argues in person. Ambassadors run the room, and we handle the format, topics, and tools.
