The Miami Heat went fishing and caught something big — and Greek. That’s right, the Heat traded for Giannis Antetokounmpo in a deal with the Milwaukee Bucks during the offseason. Watching the Heat just got interesting again.
A trade that massive is sure to have ripple effects all across the team. The Heat hope it shifts the balance of power in the Eastern Conference toward them. And, let’s not forget the more recent addition of Klay Thompson.
The Heat’s new roster will be fascinating to watch all season long. We created this guide so you can keep up with the team on TV. Learn about the new broadcast situation, check out the full Heat schedule, and more.
What channels have Miami Heat games?
The Heat inked a new partnership with local channel WPLG Local 10 as the team’s official broadcast home. The news comes after FanDuel Sports Network shut down earlier in 2026.
Fans can watch most games on WPLG throughout the season. National TV games will air on ABC, ESPN, NBA TV, and NBC. Some national games will stream exclusively on Amazon Prime Video and Peacock Premium.
If you don’t live in the Miami TV market, you can get NBA League Pass. And don’t forget: If you live in the region of another NBA team, you can watch the Heat on your local NBA team’s TV affiliate when the two sides face off.
Pro tip: AM 560 Sports WQAM has English-language radio coverage of every Heat game, while Radio Mambi 710 AM carries live Spanish-language commentary. Alternatively, NBA League Pass Audio ($9.99 per season) is available in select areas for complete NBA radio coverage.
