The Toronto Raptors announced their pre-season schedule for 2024-25 on Wednesday.

The Raps' six-game tune-up features a pit stop at the Bell Centre in Montreal and a pair of games against the reining NBA champions, the Boston Celtics.

Toronto will kick off its pre-season festivities against the Washington Wizards on Oct. 6, playing in front of a Montreal crowd at the Bell Centre as part of the league's NBA Canada series.

It will be the Raptors' first training camp in Montreal and its second in Quebec after gearing up for the 2019-20 season in Quebec City. The group will open up camp at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) from Oct. 1 through Oct. 5.

It will be the first time the Raptors will hold training camp in the city of Montréal.

Toronto will then head to Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 11 to take on the Wizards before kicking off a two-game swing against the Celtics on Oct. 13 and 15.

The Raptors will wrap up their pre-season schedule against the Brooklyn Nets on Oct. 18 and look to get into their 30th season in franchise history shortly after.
