The Toronto Raptors are set to kick off the upcoming NBA season at home, marking the 14th time in the last 15 years. The NBA released the complete schedule for the 2026-27 season, revealing that the Raptors will face off against the Chicago Bulls at Scotiabank Arena on October 21. Following this, the team will hit the road for their first away game against the Washington Wizards just two days later.
Among the notable matchups at home, fans can look forward to consecutive games against the reigning champions, the New York Knicks, on November 15 and 17. Additionally, the Toronto Raptors will host Victor Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs on December 10 and Canadian talent Shai Gilgeous-Alexander along with 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, the team is scheduled to play 15 back-to-back games, with seven of them requiring no travel. While the schedule for 80 out of 82 games has been finalized, two games are yet to be scheduled following the conclusion of the in-season NBA Cup tournament.
Despite their strong presence in recent years, the Toronto Raptors have once again been excluded from the NBA’s Christmas Day lineup. The team last played on December 25 in 2019 when they held the title of NBA champions.
