The Toronto Raptors are set to kick off the upcoming NBA season at their home court for the 14th time in the last 15 years. The NBA revealed the complete schedule for the 2026-27 season, with the Raptors starting their campaign on October 21 against the Chicago Bulls at Scotiabank Arena. Following this, the team will hit the road to face the Washington Wizards just two days later.
Key matchups at home include consecutive games against the reigning champions, the New York Knicks, scheduled for November 15 and 17. Additionally, the Toronto Raptors will host Victor Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs on December 10 and Canadian talent 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 lined up, including a six-game stretch at home. Throughout the season, they will participate in 15 back-to-back games, with seven of them requiring no travel. While 80 of the team’s 82 games have been announced, two matchups are yet to be scheduled following the in-season NBA Cup tournament group stage.
Despite their strong lineup of games, the Toronto Raptors have once again been excluded from the coveted Christmas Day schedule. The team last played on December 25 in 2019 when they were the defending NBA champions.
