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 unveiled the complete 2026-27 schedule, revealing that the Raptors will start their campaign on October 21 against the Chicago team at Scotiabank Arena. Following this, Toronto will hit the road for their first away game against Washington two days later.
Among the notable matchups at home, fans can anticipate back-to-back games against the reigning champions, the New York Knicks, on November 15 and 17. Additionally, the San Antonio Spurs led by Victor Wembanyama will visit on December 10, while the Toronto Raptors will face Canadian star 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 home stretch. The team is also scheduled to play 15 back-to-back games throughout the season, seven of which require no travel. The NBA has announced 80 out of Toronto’s 82 games, with the remaining two to be scheduled post the in-season NBA Cup tournament group stage.
Unfortunately, the Toronto Raptors have once again been excluded from the league’s prestigious Christmas Day schedule. The last time the Raptors played on December 25 was in 2019, following their NBA championship win.
The Toronto Raptors are gearing up for an action-packed season ahead, filled with exciting matchups and challenging schedules.
