  • Find out the overall playoff history of the Toronto Raptors since 1995.
  • Toronto has qualified for the postseason on 13 occasions.
  • They won their first and only title during the 2018-19 campaign.

The Toronto Raptors are the lone NBA team from Canada and have qualified for the postseason 13 times in team history since joining the league as an expansion team in 1995. Among those postseason campaigns came a championship run in 2019 when they won their lone NBA title.

Toronto defied the NBA championship odds by upsetting the stacked Golden State Warriors in 2019 to lift its first Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy in franchise history. The core of Kawhi Leonard, Pascal Siakam, and Kyle Lowry (one of the Raptors’ statistical franchise leaders) led the way for the team in that championship campaign, where they racked up a playoff record of 16 wins and eight losses.

Aside from their Cinderella-like story that season, what is the Raptors’ playoff history by season? What is their best postseason record? And what is the season where they won the most games in a single playoff run?
