The NBA has revealed the complete 2026-27 schedule, with the Raptors starting their season on October 21st against the Chicago Bulls at Scotiabank Arena. Following this, Toronto will hit the road for their first away game against the Washington Wizards two days later.

Some key matchups at home include facing the reigning champions, the New York Knicks, in back-to-back games on November 15th and 17th, hosting Victor Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs on December 10th, and welcoming Canadian star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder on March 10th. January will be the busiest month for the Raptors, with 17 games scheduled, including a six-game stretch at home. They will also play 15 back-to-back games during the season, seven of which won’t require any travel.

The NBA has announced 80 out of Toronto’s 82 games, with the remaining two games to be scheduled after the conclusion of the in-season NBA Cup tournament. Notably, the Raptors have not been included in the Christmas Day lineup, marking the third consecutive year since their last appearance on December 25th in 2019 when they were the defending NBA champions.
