The Toronto Raptors are set to kick off the upcoming NBA season with a home game for the 14th time in the last 15 years. The NBA has unveiled the complete schedule for the 2026-27 season, with the Raptors scheduled to face off against the Chicago Bulls at Scotiabank Arena on Oct. 21. Following this, the Raptors will hit the road to play against the Washington Wizards just two days later.
Among the notable matchups at home, the Raptors will have consecutive games against the reigning champions, the New York Knicks, on Nov. 15 and 17. Additionally, fans can look forward to watching the San Antonio Spurs led by Victor Wembanyama on Dec. 10 and Canadian standout 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. Throughout the season, the team will play 15 back-to-back games, with seven of them not requiring any travel. While 80 out of Toronto’s 82 games have been announced, the remaining two will be scheduled post the in-season NBA Cup tournament group play.
Despite the exciting lineup, the Raptors have once again been excluded from the prestigious Christmas Day games. The team last played on Dec. 25 in 2019 when they were the defending NBA champions.
