The Toronto Raptors are set to kick off the NBA season at their home court for the 14th time in the last 15 years. The NBA recently unveiled the complete schedule for the 2026-27 season, with the Raptors commencing 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.
Among the key matchups at home, fans can look forward to consecutive games against the reigning champions, the New York Knicks, on November 15 and 17. Additionally, the Raptors will host Victor Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs on December 10 and Canadian standout Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with 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. Throughout the season, Toronto is slated to play 15 back-to-back games, with seven of them not requiring travel. The schedule includes 80 out of 82 total games, with the remaining two to be determined following the conclusion of the in-season NBA Cup tournament group stage.
Despite their strong presence in the schedule, the Raptors will not be part of the high-profile Christmas Day lineup. The last time Toronto played on December 25 was in 2019 when they were the defending NBA champions.
