Miami Heat will take the court as Vice City on Nov. 18, 2026, when the team faces the Milwaukee Bucks at Kaseya Center. The one-night promotion is scheduled for the day before Grand Theft Auto VI‘s Nov. 19 launch and will include a Vice City-themed court, a custom uniform, and special game-night programming.

Grand Theft Auto VI returns to Vice City for the first time since 2006’s Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. The game is set in Leonida, a fictional version of Florida that includes its Miami-inspired city, giving the Heat’s real-world makeover a direct connection to the game’s setting.

Rockstar Games has amplified the Heat’s teaser, which calls the promotion “A Night in Vice City” and uses the line “Bright lights. Vice City.” The teaser also shows a pink-lit building after dark, adding another preview of the campaign’s Vice City look.

Called “The Vice City Court,” the hardwood will draw on GTA 6’s version of Miami and the game’s pink marketing palette. The team’s collaboration page says the Heat will wear a reimagined custom uniform for the occasion, although its design has not been revealed. The team has also teased more activities throughout Kaseya Center for the event.

Outside the arena, a large nighttime projection reading “Welcome to Vice City” is already visible on the Kaseya Center roof.

Vice City designs will also be sold in person at the Miami HEAT Store and online. The collection includes T-shirts, a hoodie, a crewneck, dad caps, and snapbacks, with prices ranging from $45 to $110. Snapback hats are listed at $50, while shirt designs include “I 🩷 Vice City” and “Went to Vice City and all I got was this lousy t-shirt!” The dad cap was already marked out of stock.

The Heat activation is separate from Miami-Dade County’s proposed GTA 6 campaign, which included possible airport, transit, and park branding. County officials opposed that separate pitch in September, and no agreement had been approved as of Sept. 5.
