Miami Heat and Rockstar announce ‘A Night in Vice City’ with a GTA 6 court and uniform
The Miami Heat and Rockstar Games will turn the Kaseya Center into 'A Night in Vice City' on November 18, one day before GTA 6 launches. For the nationally televised game against the Milwaukee Bucks, Miami will play as 'Vice City' on a special court, wear a never-before-used uniform and stage themed arena programming. The partnership extends GTA 6's Miami campaign into live sport, but it does not announce the Heat, NBA teams or basketball as playable game content.
SOURCE IMAGEThe event is scheduled for launch eve
Miami hosts Milwaukee on November 18, the evening before GTA 6's November 19 release. The Heat say the team will take the court as 'Vice City', giving the regular-season game an official identity shared with Rockstar's fictional setting.
A special court and a new uniform
The announcement promises a dedicated court and a uniform the Heat have never worn before, alongside unique live elements and arena programming. Those assets have not been shown in full, so their visual details should not be inferred from fan concepts or earlier Vice uniforms.
The audience extends beyond Kaseya Center
The game is scheduled for a national ESPN broadcast and Local 10 coverage in South Florida. That placement gives Rockstar access to an audience that may not follow games-industry media and turns the promotion into part of a live sporting broadcast rather than a conventional trailer placement.
Merchandise is part of the activation
The Heat also advertise a Vice City Court Culture collection linked to the event. The official notice does not provide a complete catalogue or prices, so the confirmed point is the existence of event merchandise, not the availability of any particular jersey, collectible or in-game reward.
The roof sign becomes a wider campaign
Kaseya Center already carries Rockstar's large 'Welcome to Vice City' roof sign, installed in September and lit on October 1. The Heat collaboration gives that installation a scheduled follow-up and ties the arena, the team and the release date into one Miami-facing campaign.
No in-game NBA feature has been announced
The language describes an arena partnership and real-world event. It does not state that GTA 6 includes the Heat, NBA marks, basketball gameplay or player likenesses. Until a separate game announcement appears, readers should not treat the promotion as evidence about GTA 6's playable activities.
