The Toronto Raptors get to play all but 1 game of its 2023 preseason schedule on Canadian soil.
The Raptors NBA preseason opener is a return to Rogers Arena in Vancouver, the first game there since 2018. The game will be October 8 against Sacramento.
Toronto hosts Cairns Taipans of Australia’s National Basketball League (NBL) on October 15 and the Washington Wizards on October 20. The lone game in the United States is in Chicago on October 17.
The NBA Canada Series also features a preseason game that doesn't involve the Raptors. The Oklahoma City Thunder and Detroit Pistons play at the Bell Centre in Montréal on October 12.
The Raptors are training in Burnaby, BC this season under rookie head coach Darko Rajakovic.
Rogers Sportsnet (October 8, 15) and TSN (October 17, 20) split the telecasts in Canada. The NBA Network may have tape-delayed coverage.
