How to Watch Raptors vs Wizards: Live Stream NBA Preseason, TV Channel

The Washington Wizards will host the Toronto Raptors in their first preseason game on Sunday afternoon at Capital One Arena, marking an early matchup for both teams in the 2025-26 NBA season.

After finishing last in the Eastern Conference with an 18-64 record in the previous season, the Wizards have made significant roster changes to improve their standing. They acquired guard CJ McCollum and young wing Cam Whitmore as part of a three-team trade with the New Orleans Pelicans, sending Saddiq Bey, Micah Peavy, and Jordan Poole to the Pelicans. Additionally, they drafted Illinois wing Will Riley after trading down with the Utah Jazz and traded Kelly Olynyk to the San Antonio Spurs for Malaki Branham and Blake Wesley, further strengthening their young core that includes Alex Sarr, Bub Carrington, and Tre Johnson.

The Toronto Raptors, who hold a 2-1 preseason record, will feature Brandon Ingram for the first time after acquiring him from the New Orleans Pelicans in a February trade. Ingram adds proven scoring ability to a lineup that includes Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley, and RJ Barrett. The team also drafted Collin Murray-Boyles, the ninth-overall pick from South Carolina, who offers solid two-way potential. Despite missing the playoffs for three consecutive seasons, the Raptors improved from a 25-57 record to 30-52 last season, overcoming numerous injuries.

Toronto enters this game following a narrow 107-105 victory over the Boston Celtics on Friday night, providing momentum as they face the Wizards in this preseason contest.
