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 unveiled the complete 2026-27 schedule, revealing that the Raptors will face off against the Chicago Bulls at Scotiabank Arena on October 21. Following this, Toronto’s first away game will be against the Washington Wizards two days later.
Among the noteworthy home matchups are consecutive games against the reigning champions, the New York Knicks, on November 15 and 17. Additionally, fans can look forward to watching the San Antonio Spurs led by Victor Wembanyama on December 10, and Canadian talent Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with 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. This season, Toronto will play 15 back-to-back games, with seven of them requiring no travel. While 80 out of the team’s 82 games have been scheduled, the remaining two will be arranged following the conclusion of the in-season NBA Cup tournament.
Once again, the Raptors have been excluded from the prestigious Christmas Day schedule. The team last played on December 25 in 2019 when they were the defending NBA champions.
