The Toronto Raptors are set to kick off the upcoming NBA season with a home game, marking their 14th home opener in the last 15 years. The NBA recently unveiled the complete schedule for the 2026-27 season, with the Raptors scheduled to face off against the Chicago Bulls at Scotiabank Arena on October 21. Following this, their first away game will be 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 San Antonio Spurs led by Victor Wembanyama will visit on December 10, and Canadian standout Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder will play in Toronto on March 10.
January will be the busiest month for the Raptors, with a total of 17 games, including a six-game homestand. Throughout the season, Toronto is slated to play 15 back-to-back games, with seven of them requiring no travel. The NBA has announced 80 out of the team’s 82 games, with two games yet to be scheduled post the in-season NBA Cup tournament.
Once again, the Toronto Raptors have not been included in the NBA’s high-profile Christmas Day schedule. The last time the Raptors played on December 25 was in 2019 when they were the defending NBA champions.
