The Toronto Raptors are indeed coming home — finally.

A team spokesperson confirmed Friday that the team has received the green light to play at Scotiabank Arena this season, after a season spent in Tampa. Fla.

How many fans can be in attendance, however, is still to be determined.

The Raptors will open their pre-season against the Philadelphia 76ers on Oct. 4 — their first game at Scotiabank Arena in more than 19 months.

Global's Erica Vella has fan reaction.
