GTA 6 x Miami Heat: Branded Jerseys & Court on Nov 18
The Miami Heat will sport GTA 6-themed jerseys and play on a Vice City-inspired court the night before the game launches on November 19.
A Vice City Takeover in Miami
The Miami Heat have announced a full GTA 6 crossover for their home game against the Milwaukee Bucks on November 18, 2026 — the night before GTA 6 hits shelves. The team will wear specially designed GTA 6-themed jerseys and play on a one-of-a-kind Vice City-inspired court. Neither the jersey nor the court design has been officially revealed yet, but both are expected to drop closer to the date.
The game will be broadcast on ESPN, and tickets are already on sale for anyone who wants to experience the crossover in person at the Kaseya Center in Miami — a venue that recently had "Vice City" signage airlifted in by helicopter as part of the broader promotional push.
Special Activations Planned
Beyond the court and jerseys, the Heat have hinted at "special activities" and "unique game night activations" tied to the event, though full details are still to come. It's shaping up to be a launch-eve celebration in the city that inspired Vice City itself.
Adding extra storyline to the matchup: Heat star Giannis Antetokounmpo will face his former Milwaukee Bucks teammates — a basketball subplot that makes this already high-profile night even more compelling.
Vice City Merch Available Now
Can't make it to Miami? The Heat have launched a Vice City Collection of merchandise you can order online right now. Highlights include:
- A $55 tee reading "Went to Vice City and all I got was this lousy t-shirt"
- A $45 shirt simply declaring "I love Vice City"
This is one of the more creative pre-launch marketing moves we've seen for GTA 6 — and given the real-world Miami connection to Vice City, it genuinely makes sense.
With GTA 6 launching November 19, 2026, Rockstar and Take-Two are clearly going all-in on the Vice City identity in the final stretch.
