Raptors Schedule December 2026: 12 Games, No Game Dec. 4-12

The Toronto Raptors open December 2026 on Tuesday, Dec. 1, at the Houston Rockets, 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time (ET), then play 11 more games through Wednesday, Dec. 30, according to the National Basketball Association (NBA) schedule. Five of the 12 games are at home and seven are on the road. The league’s PDF, dated Aug. 13, 2026, is marked “subject to change.”

Each row in that schedule carries two clock times: ET and the home team’s local time. Toronto is on ET, so the Raptors’ home games show one time twice. The table below adds the arena-local time for road games, which is Central Time (CT) in Houston, San Antonio, Oklahoma City and Memphis. A printable of the same rows follows the table.

Raptors December 2026 game times in ET

Weekdays are our own calculation. The national TV column of the NBA’s PDF is blank for all 12 games.

Canadian broadcasts are not yet listed on the team’s schedule page on NBA.com, which showed no December games when this was checked on Nov. 10, 2026. The page names no Canadian network for these games, so none is assumed here.

Why the Raptors have no game from Dec. 4 to Dec. 12

After the Dec. 3 game at San Antonio, the NBA’s August schedule lists no Raptors game until Sunday, Dec. 13, a gap of nine days without a game. The same window holds the Emirates NBA Cup knockout rounds. NBA.com’s key dates page, last updated Nov. 7, 2026, sets the quarterfinals on Dec. 4 and 5, the semifinals on Dec. 8 and/or Dec. 9, and the championship on Dec. 11 at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

The Raptors are in East Group A. Whether they reach the knockouts is not decided yet, so Cup results decide whether they play in that window; the PDF lists no Raptors game there. Our Raptors November schedule covers the group games.

Raptors back-to-backs and Sunday afternoon starts

The rows show two back-to-backs: Sunday, Dec. 13, at Oklahoma City and Monday, Dec. 14, at Charlotte, then Tuesday, Dec. 22, at Washington and Wednesday, Dec. 23, at Memphis. Two games start at 3:30 p.m. ET on a Sunday: the Dec. 13 return at Oklahoma City, which is 2:30 p.m. CT there, and the Dec. 20 home game against Houston.

The five home games are Dec. 16, 18, 20, 28 and 30. Three opponents appear twice: San Antonio (away Dec. 3, home Dec. 16), Houston (away Dec. 1, home Dec. 20) and Washington (away Dec. 22, home Dec. 30). The Spurs December schedule shows the same two meetings from San Antonio’s side.

Do the Raptors play on Christmas Day 2026?

No. The Raptors play Wednesday, Dec. 23, at Memphis and Saturday, Dec. 26, at Orlando, with nothing in between. The NBA’s five Christmas games are Spurs at Knicks, Heat at Celtics, 76ers at Lakers, Thunder at Timberwolves and Nuggets at Warriors; see our Christmas Day 2026 games guide for tip-off times and channels.
