The Raptors advanced to the 2025 NBA Cup knockout stage as the winner of East Group A after going undefeated in four group stage games. However, they were defeated by the eventual Cup champions New York Knicks in the quarterfinals.
On February 3, 2026, it was announced that their head coach Darko Rajaković would coach Team World in the 2026 NBA All-Star Game, having the most wins among non-American head coaches in the regular season.[1] Scottie Barnes and Brandon Ingram were also named All-Stars. With a win over the Chicago Bulls on February 5, the Raptors were able to improve from their 30–52 record from their previous season. Earlier that day, the Raptors notably traded for veteran guard Chris Paul from the Los Angeles Clippers to clear salary. They subsequently waived him on February 13 and Paul, who did not play a single game with Toronto, subsequently announced his retirement from the NBA after 21 seasons.[2]
On April 12, the Raptors qualified for the playoffs for the first time since the 2022 following their win against the Brooklyn Nets. Toronto finished the regular season with a 46–36 record, the same as the Atlanta Hawks, and secured the 5th seed in the Eastern Conference since they won the tiebreaker over Atlanta via a 4–0 season series sweep. However, the Raptors lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers in seven games of the first round.

The Raptors entered the draft with one first-round pick and one second-round pick, the latter of which was originally owned by the Portland Trail Blazers and acquired from the Sacramento Kings in 2024.[3][4] They had traded their original second-round pick to the San Antonio Spurs in a 2023 trade that sent Jakob Poeltl back to Toronto; the pick was eventually used by the Detroit Pistons. The event also marked the final occasion in which longtime team president and vice chairman Masai Ujiri made personnel decisions for the franchise, as he and the Raptors mutually parted ways on June 26, the day after the draft concluded.
