The Toronto Raptors 2024-25 regular season schedule has been revealed.
Toronto will have a tough start to their schedule. They will see the Cleveland Cavaliers, Philadelphia 76ers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Denver Nuggets, Charolette Hornets, Los Angeles Lakers, Sacramento Kings, Nuggets, Kings and Los Angeles Clippers in their first 10 games of the season.
Beyond that the Raptors will take on the Los Angeles Lakers, Milwaukee Bucks, Detroit Pistons, Boston Celtics, Indiana Pacers, Timberwolves and Cavaliers to wrap up a very tough first 17 games of the year.
The Raptors are in the midst of their rebuild. Therefore, Toronto isn’t expected to win a lot of games nor be a playoff team.
This is reflected in the lack of nationally television games the Raptors have for this season. The Raptors only have 4 games on national TV, which includes games broadcasted on ESPN, TNT, ABC, and NBA TV. This is tied for dead last in the NBA with the Portland Trail Blazers and Detroit Pistons:

This doesn’t come as much of a surprise. For the second straight season, Toronto has 1 game on ESPN. This is tied for the fewest they’ve been scheduled for since the 2013-14 season, the start of the Masai Ujiri era in Toronto. The Raptors’ lone game on ESPN will be on Jan. 8 on the road against O.G. Anunoby and the New York Knicks.
The Raptors finished last season 25-57 and their over-under for this season is set at 30.5.
