The Toronto Raptors are set to kick off the upcoming NBA season at home for the 14th time in the past 15 years. The NBA has officially unveiled 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 their home opener, Toronto will hit the road for their first away game against the Washington Wizards just two days later.
Several key matchups await the Raptors at home, including consecutive games against the reigning champions, the New York Knicks, on November 15 and 17. Additionally, fans can look forward to clashes with Victor Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs on December 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 on the schedule, featuring a six-game stint at home. Throughout the season, Toronto is slated to play 15 back-to-back games, seven of which will not require travel.
Although the NBA has announced 80 out of Toronto’s 82 games, two matchups are yet to be finalized following the conclusion of the in-season NBA Cup tournament group stage. Notably, the Raptors have once again been excluded from the highly anticipated Christmas Day lineup, a tradition that has eluded them since their last appearance in 2019 when they were the defending NBA champions.
