Miami Heat announce 2026-27 schedule with 25 national TV games

The Miami Heat have announced their 2026-27 regular season schedule, which features a significant increase in national television exposure. Following the blockbuster trade acquisition of Giannis Antetokounmpo, the team is scheduled for 25 national TV appearances, up from just five the previous year.

The season begins on October 21 at the Kaseya Center with a nationally televised matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Other notable highlights include a Christmas Day game against the Boston Celtics on December 25 and a November 18 game against the Milwaukee Bucks, which will mark the return of former Heat players Tyler Herro, Kel’el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and Kasparas Jakucionis to Miami.

The 80-game regular season schedule runs through April 11, 2027. National broadcasts will be distributed across ESPN, Prime Video, ABC, NBC, and Peacock.
