The Toronto Raptors are set to kick off the upcoming NBA season at their home court, marking the 14th instance in the last 15 years. The NBA unveiled the complete schedule for the 2026-27 season, with the Raptors scheduled to face the Chicago Bulls at Scotiabank Arena on Oct. 21. Following this, Toronto will hit the road to play against the Washington Wizards just two days later.
Some key home games to watch out for include consecutive matchups against the reigning champions, the New York Knicks, on Nov. 15 and 17. Additionally, the San Antonio Spurs led by Victor Wembanyama will visit on Dec. 10, followed by a game against Canadian star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder on March 10.
January will be the busiest month for the Raptors, featuring a total of 17 games, including a six-game stretch at home. Throughout the season, Toronto is scheduled to play 15 back-to-back games, seven of which won’t require travel. The team’s schedule comprises 80 out of 82 games, with the remaining two matches to be arranged post the group stage of the in-season NBA Cup tournament.
Notably, the Raptors will not be part of the prestigious Christmas Day lineup for yet another year. The last time Toronto played on Dec. 25 was in 2019 when they were the defending NBA champions.
