The Toronto Raptors are just months away from the start of the 2024-25 season, and we finally have an idea of what their schedule will look like.
Today, the NBA announced the regular season schedule for all 30 teams, with Toronto kicking off on October 23 at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The team also shared a teaser video of the calendar on social media, highlighting some of their biggest dates of the season.
Still very close to that time 😈

Toronto currently has 80 of its 82 games on the schedule, including four in-season tournament or NBA Cup games, with two more to be determined. If the Raptors advance to the NBA Cup quarterfinals, they will have at least two more games on the schedule for the week of Dec. 10-17. The semifinals and finals will again be held in Las Vegas this year.
Here’s the Raptors’ full schedule, with all ET times:
December and January are both very busy months for the Raptors, with Toronto having eight home games each month. Toronto has its longest home stretch with five games in nine days from December 1-9, while the longest away trip is five games from November 4-12.
The schedule includes 15 back-to-back games this season, though five of those series don’t involve any travel for the Raptors. Meanwhile, 11 of the 14 Eastern Conference opponents will visit Scotiabank Arena twice this year, while Atlanta, Chicago and Milwaukee will only make one trip to Toronto this year.
A broadcast schedule is expected shortly, with TSN and Sportsnet each splitting 41 games for the year.
