Preseason NBA games in Canada will take place in Quebec City and Vancouver involving the Toronto Raptors, Los Angeles Clippers and Miami Heat, the league announced Wednesday.
The NBA Canada Games 2026 will see the Raptors meet the Heat on Oct. 3, at Videotron Centre in Quebec City, and the Raptors face the Clippers at Rogers Arena in Vancouver on Oct. 10.
“Every time we wear the Raptors jersey, we’re representing the entire country, so it’s always special to have the opportunity to play games in communities across Canada,” Toronto forward Scottie Barnes said. “It’s important to us that fans from coast to coast have the chance to experience Raptors basketball, and we can’t wait to share those moments together this preseason in Quebec City and Vancouver.”
The slate features the first-ever NBA preseason contest in Quebec City, the eighth in Vancouver and the 21st and 22nd held in Canada since 2012.
To date, 16 NBA teams have played a total of 20 preseason games north of the border in front of more than 377,000 fans in six different cities. Quebec City will be the seventh.
