We are one — yes, one — day away from the 2025-26 NBA schedule being released. Though four Miami Heat games were announced Wednesday, including their first on Amazon Prime!
Weeks after their group was revealed, each of the Heat’s four Emirates Cup group stage games was announced. The Miami Heat will host the Charlotte Hornets to open the In-Season Tournament on Nov. 7 at 8:00 p.m. EST. Here is their full slate:
- Nov. 7: vs. Charlotte Hornets (8:00 p.m. EST)
- Nov. 14: at New York Knicks (7:00 p.m. EST; Amazon Prime)
- Nov. 21: at Chicago Bulls (8:00 p.m. EST)
- Nov. 26: vs. Milwaukee Bucks (7:30 p.m. EST)
The top team from each Group plus two wild-card teams advance to the eight-team quarterfinals. From there, it will be single elimination — with the final two rounds being played in Las Vegas, Nev., from Dec. 13-16.
The NBA signed an 11-year, $76 billion media rights deal that will feature Amazon Prime — as well as NBCUniversal (NBC, Peacock) as well as Disney (ESPN, ABC). Former Miami Heat greats Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem will both be a part of Amazon’s coverage.
The NBA season will tip off on Oct. 21.
