Toronto is the designated home team in both matchups, although neither game is at its usual Toronto arena. Both are preseason exhibitions and do not count toward regular-season standings.

How to watch in Canada

The October 10 Clippers–Raptors game is listed under TSN/TSN+. The completed October 3 opener also had a TSN/TSN+ listing. Check the specific feed in your television guide or the TSN app before the upcoming game, and make sure your television or streaming subscription includes that coverage. A free app download does not establish free access to the game.

The listing does not specify a numbered TSN channel or the subscription tier needed for every viewing method. Confirm the match in your own package before purchasing access. No Canada-wide free broadcast or free stream is confirmed here.

How to watch in the United States

October 3 (completed): Heat–Raptors was listed on NBA TV. Access was listed as available through a television package that carries the channel or an eligible NBA streaming subscription. NBA TV is included with League Pass and League Pass Premium; local blackout restrictions can still apply.

October 10: League Pass is the announced streaming option for Clippers–Raptors where available. The current game listing does not name a U.S. national television channel. Check your location’s eligibility before subscribing, particularly if you are in a team’s local market.

The listed South Florida broadcast for the completed October 3 game

WPLG Local 10 was also listed for Heat–Raptors, with free over-the-air reception for viewers within the station’s reception area using a suitable antenna.

The Local10+ Platinum game-stream listing was restricted to viewers in Miami-Dade, Broward and Monroe counties. Its separate worldwide news stream was not access to the game. These October 3 listings do not establish replay availability.

Will League Pass work everywhere?

No. League Pass is a paid service, is unavailable in some countries and territories, and applies blackout restrictions in the United States and Canada. A League Pass listing is not a promise of live access from every location.

Canadian national broadcasts can be blacked out on League Pass. U.S. local restrictions may also affect these games, including NBA TV coverage. Check the game in your account from the location where you will watch before buying a subscription solely for this matchup.

Kawhi Leonard’s October 10 outlook

Kawhi Leonard missed the preseason opener against Miami in Québec City. Josh Lewenberg reported on October 3 that Leonard was also unlikely to play against the Clippers in Vancouver on October 10 as Toronto continued his ramp-up plan.

The October 10 report describes an expectation, rather than a final game-day designation. Check for a later team update before making attendance plans around a particular player.

What to check before watching or attending

• Player availability: A preseason fixture does not guarantee that a particular player will appear or play regular-season minutes. Check game-day availability updates.
• Tickets: Prices and remaining inventory can change. Confirm the date, venue and live availability in the official event listing before making travel plans.
• Arrival: The scheduled game start is not a doors-open time. Follow the venue’s event-specific entry instructions.
• Later games: See the Toronto Raptors schedule for the rest of preseason and the regular-season calendar.
