The Toronto Raptors are set to kick off the upcoming NBA season with a home game for the 14th time in the past 15 years. The NBA recently unveiled the complete schedule for the 2026-27 season, with the Raptors facing off against the Chicago Bulls at Scotiabank Arena on October 21. Their first away game will be against the Washington Wizards two days later.
Among the notable matchups at home, the Raptors will have back-to-back games against the reigning champions, the New York Knicks, on November 15 and 17. Additionally, they will host Victor Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs on December 10 and Canadian sensation 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 scheduled, including a six-game home stretch. Throughout the season, they will have 15 back-to-back games, seven of which won’t require travel. The schedule includes 80 out of the 82 total games, with two games yet to be finalized following the conclusion of the in-season NBA Cup tournament group stage.
Unfortunately, the Raptors will not be part of the prestigious NBA Christmas Day lineup once again. The last time they played on December 25 was in 2019 when they were the defending NBA champions.
