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 revealed the complete schedule for the 2026-27 season, confirming that the Raptors will commence their campaign on October 21 against the Chicago Bulls at Scotiabank Arena. The team’s initial away game is scheduled two days later against the Washington Wizards.
Among the notable matchups at home are consecutive clashes against the reigning champions, the New York Knicks, on November 15 and 17, and a faceoff with Victor Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs on December 10, followed by a game against Canadian sensation 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. Additionally, the team is slated to play 15 back-to-back games during the season, seven of which will not involve travel.
The NBA has unveiled 80 out of the 82 games on Toronto’s schedule, with the remaining two games to be scheduled following the conclusion of the in-season NBA Cup tournament. Notably, the Raptors will not be featured in the league’s Christmas Day lineup once again. The last time the Raptors played on December 25 was in 2019 when they held the NBA championship title.
