The Miami HEAT Become “Vice City” for One Night: November 18, the Eve of GTA VI
On November 18, the night before GTA VI launches, the HEAT host the Milwaukee Bucks at Kaseya Center as Vice City: a special court, a new uniform and a Vice City merch collection.
Confirmed — it is on the HEAT’s own page on NBA.com, read October 2, 2026, which calls it “a historic partnership, when the HEAT as Vice City host a never-been-done-before event on the eve of the highly anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto VI.”
The game: HEAT vs. Milwaukee Bucks, Wednesday November 18, 7:00 PM ET, at Kaseya Center, the arena that already wears Rockstar’s “Welcome to Vice City” rooftop sign. The page lists ESPN, WPLG Local 10 and 104.3 WQAM as broadcasters.
What changes for the night: “One court, one night only: The HEAT play on special hardwood built for Vice City,” and the team wears “a new, completely reimagined uniform for the night.” The uniform itself has not been shown; the page only offers a sign-up for when it drops. A Vice City apparel collection is on sale now at the HEAT store.
The limit of this story: the page does not say whether anything from the game itself (a reveal, a trailer, a launch countdown) happens at the arena that night. We will add it if the HEAT or Rockstar say so.
