In 1991, before Howard was a teenager, Tim Mulqueen, a one-time assistant coach for the U.S. under-17 soccer team, saw Howard's potential at a single $25 soccer coaching session. He took Howard under his wing, offering him free soccer coaching.Howard (2014), pp. 35–37. When Howard was 14 and 15 years old, Peter Mellor, the former professional goalkeeper who was coaching for the United States Soccer Federation and writing the curriculum for the first U.S. Soccer National Goalkeeping License for coaches, saw the 14-year-old Howard in an Olympic Development Player camp, identified him as a star of the future, and placed him in the Olympic Development Program.{{Cite web|url=https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/portsmouth-fc/peter-mellor-the-big-interview-1-7087805|title=Peter Mellor: The Big Interview|website=www.portsmouth.co.uk}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.oursportscentral.com/services/releases/distinguished-us-national-team-mls-coach-peter-mellor-joins-usl/n-3967492|title=Distinguished Us National Team, MLS Coach Peter Mellor Joins USL|date=February 23, 2010|website=OurSports Central}}{{cite news |first=James |last=Edward |title=Mellor happy to be coaching for RSL |url=https://www.deseret.com/2005/8/9/19906224/mellor-happy-to-be-coaching-for-rsl/ |work=Deseret News |date=August 9, 2005 |access-date=January 9, 2019 }} Mellor also helped Howard obtain his work permit appeal after he joined Manchester United from the MetroStars in 2003.

Howard attended North Brunswick Township High School.Sargeant, Keith.

Accessed January 2, 2018. "A North Brunswick High School product, Howard was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome at age 10." Howard proved a star not only in soccer as a midfielder, but also on the basketball court, where he averaged 15 points per game and helped bring his team to the state finals in his senior year.Carino, Jerry. [http://www.app.com/story/sports/soccer/2014/06/17/north-brunswicks-howard-everything-big-time-athlete/10713783/ "U.S. goalkeeper recalled fondly in NJ hometown"], Asbury Park Press, June 17, 2014. Accessed January 2, 2018. "The 35-year-old Howard is widely respected as one of the world's best goalkeepers, but back in his old neighborhood, they still talk about the time he defended Jay Williams in the county basketball final. For most of the 1997 season, Breheney put Howard at the head of the Raiders' 1–3–1 zone press, and the point guard made life miserable for ball-handlers.... 'So Timmy in high school played central midfielder.'" During high school, he played for Central Jersey Cosmos.Howard (2014), p. 44. In 1995, Howard was part of the U.S. under-17 squad.

In 1997, Mulqueen became the coach of the North Jersey Imperials,{{cite web|url=http://www.empireofsoccer.com/history-lesson-tim-howard-and-the-metrostars-59000/|title=History Lesson: Tim Howard and the MetroStars|website=Empire of Soccer|first=Jack|last=Hazzard|date=March 10, 2017|access-date=June 27, 2018|archive-date=February 24, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200224025946/http://www.empireofsoccer.com/history-lesson-tim-howard-and-the-metrostars-59000/|url-status=usurped}} a team in the United Systems of Independent Soccer Leagues (USISL), and served as the goalkeeping coach for Major League Soccer (MLS)'s MetroStars; he considered Howard for a position on the Imperials. Howard signed with the Imperials and played in his first professional game before graduating from high school.Howard (2014), p. 53. He notched six appearances with the North Jersey Imperials.

Howard was brought up to the MetroStars by Mulqueen, who at the time was the MetroStars' goalkeeping coach.

Howard was victorious in his MLS debut with the MetroStars on August 18, 1998, making five saves in a 4–1 win over Colorado at Giants Stadium (his only appearance of the year). He later played in one game with the Nike Project-40 Team, a 3–1 win over the Staten Island Vipers at Giants Stadium on May 6, 1998.

With the MetroStars during the 1999 MLS season, Howard made eight starts in nine contests. Howard had a 1.58 GAA and won just one match in a season in which the Metros won just seven games. He also spent most of the international season with the United States Under-20 team, leaving the club to compete in the 1999 FIFA World Youth Championship in April and the 1999 Pan American Games in July.

Howard posted a 5–2–2 record with a 1.59 GAA in 2000, splitting time between the MetroStars and the United States Olympic team, also winning all three of his U.S. Open Cup starts that season.

Howard won the 2001 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year award, recording 146 saves and finishing the year with a 1.33 GAA,{{cite web |url=http://www.mlssoccer.com/history/club/newyork/2001 |title=MetroStars 2001 |publisher=Major League Soccer |access-date=March 21, 2005 |archive-date=August 2, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160802030701/http://www.mlssoccer.com/history/club/newyork/2001 |url-status=dead }} four shutouts, and a 13–10–3 record. He also received the MLS Humanitarian of the Year Award.

Howard played in 27 of 28 regular season games in 2002 for the MetroStars, recording four shutouts.{{cite web|title=Tim Howard|publisher=Major League Soccer|url=http://www.mlssoccer.com/players/tim-howard|access-date=April 2, 2015}} He was named to the MLS Best XI for the second straight season. Before leaving the MetroStars in 2003, he appeared in thirteen games and had three clean sheets as the club challenged for first place during the season's first half.

Manchester United paid a US$4 million transfer fee to sign Howard in the middle of the 2003 MLS season, and he replaced Fabien Barthez as the club's first-choice goalkeeper.{{cite news|first=Ellen|last=Hale|title=American goalie rises to top of soccer world|url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/soccer/world/2004-01-22-howard_x.htm|work=USA Today |location=Manchester, England|date=January 22, 2004|access-date=January 12, 2009}}

Howard started off very well at Manchester United, saving the decisive penalty in the Community Shield against Arsenal. Other notable performances followed, including Bolton Wanderers and a home FA Cup tie victory over Manchester City. In March 2004, however, Howard's poor parry handed a last minute goal to Porto, eliminating United from the UEFA Champions League.{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/7988272.stm |first=Chris |last=Bevan |title=When Porto shocked Man Utd|work=BBC Sport |date=April 14, 2009 |access-date=August 26, 2015}} The error appeared to shatter Howard's confidence and he was replaced by Roy Carroll.{{citation needed|date=February 2015}} After a period of rest, Howard reclaimed his starting position ahead of Carroll for the 2004 FA Cup Final, picking up a winner's medal. He was the second American player to collect a winner's medal in the FA Cup, after Julian Sturgis of Wanderers in the 1873 final. Howard was also named in the PFA Team of the Year in his first season at Manchester United.{{cite web|url=https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/10-players-youd-forgotten-were-a-pfa-premier-league-team-year?page=0%2C1|title=10 players you'd forgotten were in a PFA Premier League Team of the Year|website=Four Four Two|first=Huw|last=Davis|date=April 18, 2018|access-date=June 27, 2018}}

In Howard's second season with Manchester United, he started poorly, making several errors and was dropped again for Carroll. After Carroll made several errors as well, Howard regained the starting position but his performances were unconvincing, leading to Carroll regaining his place again, playing in the FA Cup final defeat to Arsenal.

At the end of the 2004–05 season, Howard signed a new contract, which was to run until 2009. In the summer of 2005, Manchester United released both of his competitors for the goalkeeper position – Ricardo and Carroll. However, they also bought experienced Dutch goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar from Fulham soon after.

Howard joined Everton on loan for the 2006–07 season and made his debut for the club against Watford on the opening day of the Premier League season. He signed a permanent deal with the club in February 2007 for a fee reported to be worth around £3 million.{{cite web|url=http://metro.co.uk/2007/02/14/howard-signs-everton-deal-86828/|title=Howard signs Everton deal|work=Metro|access-date=May 11, 2013|archive-date=October 29, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029202928/http://metro.co.uk/2007/02/14/howard-signs-everton-deal-86828/|url-status=dead}}

Howard made his 100th appearance for Everton against West Ham United, on November 8, 2008. On April 19, 2009, in the FA Cup semi final, he saved two penalties against his former club Manchester United in a penalty shoot-out to send Everton to the final against Chelsea. During the 2008–09 Premier League season, Howard set the club record for most league match clean sheets in a season. Howard started the 2009–10 Premier League season with four consecutive clean sheets, including away to Portsmouth where he helped his team secure a 1–0 win.{{cite web|url=http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1169337-tim-howards-10-best-games-as-everton-goalkeeper#slide5|title=Tim Howard's 10 Best Games as Everton Goalkeeper|website=Bleacher Report|first=Cheyenne|last=Hollis|date=May 2, 2012|access-date=June 27, 2018}} Howard saved a Jermain Defoe penalty in injury time to help his side draw 2–2 with Tottenham Hotspur on December 6, 2009.{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/8391316.stm|title=Everton 2–2 Tottenham|publisher=BBC|date=December 6, 2009|access-date=August 30, 2016}} Howard captained Everton for the first time in a 3–3 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on December 12, 2009.{{cite web|title=Howard, Jagielka, Yobo pen Toffees deals|work=ESPN Soccernet|url=http://espnfc.com/news/story?id=652477&sec=england&cc=5901|date=June 3, 2009|access-date=June 3, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029221158/http://espnfc.com/news/story?id=652477&sec=england&cc=5901|archive-date=October 29, 2013|url-status=dead}}

During the 2011–12 Premier League season, Howard scored his first goal in professional soccer in a 2–1 defeat to Bolton Wanderers.

Following the United States' second-place finish in the tournament, Howard was awarded the Golden Glove for best goalkeeper.{{cite web|title=FIFA Confederations Cup South Africa 2009: Awards|publisher=FIFA|year=2010|url=https://www.fifa.com/confederationscup/awards/index.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090616071749/http://www.fifa.com/confederationscup/awards/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=June 16, 2009|access-date=June 12, 2010}}

Howard was the starting goalkeeper for the 2010 World Cup, in South Africa, and turned in a man of the match performance against England in his World Cup debut.{{cite web|title=2010 FIFA World Cup Roster|publisher=U.S. Soccer|year=2010|url=http://www.ussoccer.com/Tournaments/FIFA-World-Cup/2010-FIFA-World-Cup/Training-Camp-Roster/100526-Roster.aspx|access-date=June 12, 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100612042738/http://www.ussoccer.com/Tournaments/FIFA-World-Cup/2010-FIFA-World-Cup/Training-Camp-Roster/100526-Roster.aspx|archive-date=June 12, 2010}} Howard's distribution to Landon Donovan led to the game-winning goal of the final group match against Algeria, giving the United States passage into the round of 16.{{cite news|last=Whiteside|first=Kelly|title=Donovan's last-gasp goal nets historic World Cup win for USA|work=USA Today|date=June 24, 2010|url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/soccer/worldcup/2010-06-23-usa-algeria_N.htm|access-date=April 19, 2015}} During the United States' round of 16 game against Ghana, Howard conceded two goals in a 2–1 loss.

After Mexico defeated the United States to win the 2011 Gold Cup Final, Howard made a controversial statement regarding the post-match ceremony. The trophy presentation was conducted entirely in Spanish, despite the tournament being held in the United States. Howard went on to say that it was a "disgrace" and commented further that if the final had been in Mexico City and the United States had won, the ceremony would not have been made in English.{{cite news|title=A conflict of interest?|work=Forbes|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/sportsmoney/2011/08/10/usa-vs-mexico-a-conflict-of-interest/|access-date=August 10, 2011|first=Adrian|last=Melville|date=August 10, 2011|archive-date=January 8, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140108111226/http://www.forbes.com/sites/sportsmoney/2011/08/10/usa-vs-mexico-a-conflict-of-interest/|url-status=dead}}

Howard was named MLS Humanitarian of the Year in 2001 for his work with children with Tourette syndrome, and was added to the New Jersey Tourette Syndrome Association Board of Directors in the same year.

In 2014, Howard showed off his arm and torso tattoos for PETA's "Ink, Not Mink" anti-fur campaign.{{cite news|first=Kelly |last=Whiteside|url=http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/05/tim-howard-peta|title=Tim Howard Bares Tattoos for PETA 'Ink, Not Mink' Campaign|newspaper=USA Today|date=May 6, 2014}}

Howard's autobiography, The Keeper: A Life of Saving Goals and Achieving Them ({{ISBN|978-0-06-238739-4}}), was co-authored with Ali Benjamin and published in 2014.

The New York Times book review said that "few are cooler or quicker than Mr. Howard" and that "the story is good, but reading it require[s] a certain tolerance for sports clichés".{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/02/books/tim-howards-the-keeper-tells-that-athletes-story.html |title=Books: Stopping Goals, and Opening Up-Tim Howard's The Keeper Tells That Athlete's Story |work=The New York Times |date=January 1, 2015 |access-date=March 21, 2015}} The Chicago Tribune describes Howard as the "rarest of creatures – an American soccer hero", adding that the book has "exciting recollections" and that Howard is a "gracious narrator, though here and there he engages in mild score-settling".{{cite news |url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/books/ct-prj-keeper-tim-howard-game-of-our-lives-david-goldblatt-20150121-story.html#page=1 |title=Reviews: The Game of Our Lives by David Goldblatt, The Keeper by Tim Howard |work=Chicago Tribune |last=Keilman |first=John |date=January 22, 2015 |access-date=March 30, 2021 }}
