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. Their first away game will follow two days later against Washington.

Key home matchups to watch out for include consecutive games against the reigning champions, the New York Knicks, on November 15 and 17. Additionally, fans can anticipate an exciting clash against Victor Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs on December 10 and a showdown with Canadian star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder on March 10.

January will be a packed month for the Raptors, with 17 games on the agenda, featuring a six-game home stretch. Throughout the season, the team will play 15 back-to-back games, seven of which won’t require any travel. The schedule currently includes 80 out of Toronto’s 82 total games, with the remaining two to be determined following the conclusion of the in-season NBA Cup tournament.

Despite the action-packed schedule, the Raptors will not be part of the NBA’s Christmas Day lineup this year. The last time they played on December 25 was in 2019 when they were the reigning NBA champions.
