Matchup History
Since 1995, when the Raptors joined the National Basketball Association as part of an expansion into Canada, some of their meetings with the 76ers have been especially memorable. One of the most special moments between the teams came in the 2001 Eastern Conference Semifinals, when Philadelphia legend Allen Iverson and Raptors superstar Vince Carter traded 50-point performances as the series extended to 7 hard-fought games.
In the 2025-26 season, the Sixers will host the Raptors in two early season matchups on November 8 and 19. The two squads will later match up in back-to-back games on January 11 and 12 in Toronto.
These Atlantic Division foes have met 115 times with the 76ers holding a 49-66 record against the Raptors in the regular season. But in the playoffs, Philadelphia has the advantage with an 11-9 record. The Sixers’ most recent postseason triumph over Toronto came during the 2022 Eastern first round as the team went 4-2 on the series. An iconic moment came during Game 3 when Embiid drained a buzzer-beater three-pointer in overtime, giving the Sixers a 104-101 victory.
In ‘21-22, only his second season, Sixers sensation Tyrese Maxey scored his 1,000th NBA point against the Raptors. During the 2022-23 season, the Sixers and Raptors faced off on four occasions, finishing the year with a 3-1 record in favor of the 76ers.
The Sixers defeated the Raptors in all four matchups of the 2023-24 season. The Sixers hosted the Raptors on December 22, winning 121-111, with 64 of those points coming from Joel Embiid and Maxey. Their final matchup of the season on March 31 was a 135-120 road win over the Raptors, with a 32 point performance from Kelly Oubre Jr.
The 2024-25 season saw an early clash between these Atlantic Division rivals, with the Sixers falling to the Raptors in Toronto on October 25. In their next matchup, Toronto visited Philadelphia, where the Sixers dropped a close 103-106 contest on February 11. The teams met twice more in Toronto on March 12 and in South Philly on March 30 with both matchups once again going the Raptors’ way.
After being swept by Toronto during the 2024-25 season, the Philadelphia 76ers responded in their first meeting of 2025-26, defeating the Raptors 130-120 at home on November 8. The game also marked the debut of the team’s 2001 anniversary Hardwood Classic uniforms, adding a celebratory tone to a much-needed win. On November 19, the Sixers came out strong with Maxey dropping 24 points and both Edgecombe and Grimes combining for 42. However, Toronto went on a 44–26 run in the third quarter which opened the door for a Sixers 112–121 home loss. Their next two meetups consisted of a back-to-back on January 11th and 12th in Toronto where the Sixers lost the first matchup in a one point game. However, they came back strong on the 12th and pulled away with a 115-102 win.
