The Toronto Raptors are set to kick off the upcoming NBA season at home 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, Toronto will hit the road to face the Washington Wizards two days later.
Highlighted matchups at home include consecutive games against the reigning champions, the New York Knicks, on November 15 and 17, as well as a showdown with 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, featuring 17 games, including a six-game stretch at home. Additionally, the team is scheduled to play 15 back-to-back games during the season, seven of which will not require any travel.
The NBA has announced 80 of Toronto’s 82 regular-season games, with the remaining two to be determined following the conclusion of the in-season NBA Cup tournament group stage. However, the Raptors will once again miss out on playing on Christmas Day, a tradition they have not participated in since 2019 when they were the defending NBA champions.
