The Toronto Raptors schedule for next season is set — even if their roster isn’t.
Toronto will open the season at home Oct. 21 against Norman Powell and the Chicago Bulls, the team announced Thursday as the NBA unveiled its full slate for the 2026-27 season.
Earlier this week, the NBA also revealed the Christmas and opening-day slates along with groups and schedules for the NBA Cup.
The Raptors won’t be playing on Dec. 25 nor Martin Luther King Jr. Day or Presidents’ Day, two other featured holidays on the NBA calendar.
Only 80 of the 82 games for each team were revealed, as the final two games on the calendar will be determined by the NBA Cup, where the Raptors are grouped with the Milwaukee Bucks, Orlando Magic, Detroit Pistons and Brooklyn Nets.
Of course, with the Kawhi Leonard trade still on pause, it remains unclear exactly who will be suiting up for the Raptors when the ball tips off.
The Raptors will travel to face the Los Angeles Clippers, the other party in the deal, early in the season on Nov. 2 while the Clippers ring in the new year in Toronto Jan. 1.
