The NBA has released the full 2026-27 schedule, confirming that the Toronto Raptors will open their season at home against the Chicago Bulls on October 21 at Scotiabank Arena. This marks the 14th time in 15 years that the team has started the season in Toronto.
Key matchups for the upcoming season include back-to-back games against the reigning champion New York Knicks on November 15 and 17, as well as visits from Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs in December. The Raptors will also host Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder on March 10.
The schedule currently accounts for 80 of the team's 82 games; the remaining two will be determined following the NBA Cup group play, in which Toronto is grouped with the Milwaukee Bucks, Orlando Magic, Detroit Pistons, and Brooklyn Nets. The Raptors are not scheduled to play on Christmas Day.
