The NBA Finals begin later this week. But the Miami Heat has already moved on to next season after its early first-round playoff exit, announcing its home preseason schedule for this upcoming season on Monday.
The Heat will host three preseason games at Kaseya Center: Oct. 6 vs. Milwaukee Bucks at 7:30 p.m., Oct. 8 vs. San Antonio Spurs at 7:30 p.m. and Oct. 17 vs. Memphis Grizzlies at 8 p.m.
The Heat’s road preseason schedule has not yet been announced, but it’s expected to include two road games and possibly a third game if plans to hold an exhibition game in Puerto Rico are finalized. That has the Heat playing a total of five to six games this preseason.
Tickets for the Heat’s three preseason games at Kaseya Center go on sale Friday at noon. Tickets can be purchased on Heat.com or Ticketmaster.com.
All Heat home games remain mobile-only entry, with tickets accessible via the Miami Heat App, Ticketmaster.com and/or the Ticketmaster App to enter Kaseya Center.
The Heat is scheduled to hold its annual media day on Sept. 29 before opening training camp on Sept. 30 to kick off the 2025-26 season.
The complete preseason schedule and broadcast information will be released at a later date. The NBA is expected to release the regular-season schedule for all 30 teams in August.
The Heat finished this past regular season with a losing record at 37-45 for the first time since the 2018-19 season and just the sixth time in Pat Riley’s 30 seasons with the organization. The Heat has also been eliminated in the first round of the playoffs in each of the last two seasons.
