Raptors to host games in Quebec City, Vancouver

The Toronto Raptors are set to bring NBA pre-season action to two Canadian cities beyond their home base. The team announced they will host games in Quebec City and Vancouver as part of their exhibition schedule.

On October 3, the Raptors will compete against the Miami Heat in Quebec City's Videotron Centre. This marks the NBA's first-ever pre-season game in the city. Following this, on October 10, Toronto will face the Los Angeles Clippers at Vancouver's Rogers Arena.

In preparation for these games, the Raptors will hold their training camp in Quebec City. From September 29 to October 2, the team will utilize the PEPS athletic complex at Université Laval. This marks a return to Quebec City for the team, which held its 2019 training camp there.

Raptors General Manager and Executive Vice-President Bobby Webster expressed enthusiasm for the decision. "We have great memories of our 2019 training camp in Quebec City, and the opportunity to spend time in such a historic city, combined with the outstanding facilities at Université Laval, made returning an easy decision," Webster stated. "We’re looking forward to playing our first NBA Canada Game in Quebec City before returning to Vancouver, which has become a home away from home for our organization."

The team's pre-season schedule also includes a home-and-home series against the New York Knicks on October 13 and 15, followed by a visit to the Detroit Pistons on October 16. The full NBA schedule for the 2026-27 season has not yet been released.
