The Toronto Raptors are set to kick off the upcoming NBA season at home for the 14th time in the last 15 years. The NBA recently disclosed the complete 2026-27 schedule, with the Raptors starting their campaign on October 21 against the Chicago Bulls at the Scotiabank Arena. Following this, Toronto’s first away game will be against the Washington Wizards two days later.
Among the key home games on the schedule are consecutive matchups against the reigning champions, the New York Knicks, on November 15 and 17. Additionally, the Raptors will host Victor Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs on December 10 and face off against Canadian talent Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder on March 10.
January will be the busiest month for the Raptors, with a total of 17 games, including a six-game stretch at home. Throughout the season, Toronto is slated to play 15 back-to-back games, seven of which won’t require any travel. The NBA has revealed 80 out of the 82 games for the Raptors, with the remaining two to be determined post the group stage of the in-season NBA Cup tournament.
Once again, Toronto has been excluded from the NBA’s high-profile Christmas Day lineup. The Raptors last participated in a Christmas Day game in 2019 when they were the defending NBA champions.
