The Toronto Raptors are set to kick off the upcoming NBA season at their home court, marking the 14th time in the past 15 years. The NBA unveiled the complete schedule for the 2026-27 season, revealing that the Raptors will face off against the Chicago team at Scotiabank Arena on October 21. Following this, the Raptors will hit the road for their first away game against Washington two days later.
Among the key matchups at home, fans can anticipate consecutive games against the reigning champions, the New York Knicks, on November 15 and 17. Additionally, the San Antonio Spurs led by Victor Wembanyama will visit on December 10, and Canadian talent Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder will play on March 10.
January will be a busy month for the Raptors, with a total of 17 games scheduled, including a six-game homestand. Moreover, the team is slated to play 15 back-to-back games during the season, seven of which will not require any additional travel.
The NBA has announced 80 out of Toronto’s 82 games, with the remaining two to be determined following the group stage of the in-season NBA Cup tournament. Despite their strong presence in recent years, the Raptors will not be featured in the high-profile Christmas Day games this season. The last time the Raptors played on December 25 was in 2019 when they were the defending NBA champions.
