The Toronto Raptors are set to kick off the upcoming NBA season at home, marking the 14th occasion in the last 15 years. The NBA has officially unveiled the complete schedule for the 2026-27 season, with the Raptors commencing their campaign on October 21 against the Chicago Bulls at Scotiabank Arena. Following this, Toronto will hit the road for their first away game against the Washington Wizards two days later.
Among the noteworthy home matchups are consecutive clashes against the reigning champions, the New York Knicks, on November 15 and 17. Additionally, fans can anticipate an exciting showdown with Victor Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs on December 10 and a face-off against Canadian standout Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder on March 10.
January will be the busiest month for the Raptors, with a packed schedule of 17 games, including a six-game stretch at home. The team is also slated to play 15 back-to-back games during the season, with seven of them requiring no travel. Although 80 of Toronto’s 82 games have been announced, two matchups are pending scheduling following the in-season NBA Cup tournament group stage.
Despite the lineup announcement, the Toronto Raptors have once again been omitted from the NBA’s prestigious Christmas Day schedule. The team’s last appearance on December 25 dates back to 2019 when they were the defending NBA champions.
