The Miami Heat announced “A Night in Vice City” for their Wednesday, November 18, 2026 home game against the Milwaukee Bucks, one day before GTA 6 launches. Reported by Gematsu, Kotaku, SportsLogos.Net, Yahoo Sports and Beebom, the game at the Kaseya Center will feature a one-night-only court and new uniforms built around GTA 6’s Vice City. We found no matching announcement on Rockstar’s own Newswire as of October 5, so treat the partnership details as reported through the Heat and press coverage, not a direct Rockstar statement.

Not the Heat’s old Vice jerseys

The Heat already have a well-known “Vice” alternate uniform line, introduced in 2017 and inspired by 1980s Miami and the TV series Miami Vice, unrelated to Rockstar. Outlets are clear that the November 18 uniform is a new design built specifically around GTA 6’s version of Vice City for this one game, not a reissue of the existing Vice jerseys.

Merchandise

Reports describe a Vice City collection at the Miami HEAT Store, in person at the arena and online, spanning t-shirts, a hoodie, a crewneck and caps, priced from about $45 to $110. These are the Heat’s own retail prices; GTA6.how is not affiliated with the Heat Store and has no link to it.

How it fits the bigger Miami campaign

This follows Rockstar’s Kaseya Center sign deal with Miami-Dade County, which put a “Welcome to Vice City” sign on the arena’s roof on September 22, 2026, the same building that hosts this game. It is the clearest sign yet that Rockstar’s real-world Vice City marketing now extends into the Heat’s own broadcasts and merchandise, not just outdoor signage.

What it means for players

This is marketing, not a gameplay reveal: no new release date, price or feature is confirmed here. It gives players outside the game one more real-world touchpoint with Vice City before launch on November 19. Every dated marketing beat, from the Kaseya Center sign to this game, is tracked on the news timeline.
