The Toronto Raptors are set to kick off the upcoming 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 scheduled to face off against the Chicago team at Scotiabank Arena on October 21. Following this, their first away game will be against Washington two days later.
Some key matchups to watch out for at home include consecutive games against the reigning champions, the New York Knicks, on November 15 and 17. Additionally, fans can anticipate a showdown with Victor Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs on December 10 and a clash against Canadian star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder on March 10.
The Raptors will have a packed schedule in January with 17 games, including a six-game stretch at home. This season, they are slated to play a total of 15 back-to-back games, with seven of them not requiring travel. While 80 of the team’s 82 games have been announced, two games are yet to be scheduled following the in-season NBA Cup tournament.
Despite the exciting lineup, Toronto will not be featured in the NBA’s coveted Christmas Day schedule this season. The team last played on December 25 in 2019 when they held the title of NBA champions.
