The Heat will wear Nike x Cactus Jack Vice City uniforms Nov. 18 vs. the Bucks, the night before GTA VI. Here is the time, channel and what you can buy.
As of Nov. 6, 2026, the Miami Heat have shown the "Vice City" uniform they will wear against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday, Nov. 18, the night before Grand Theft Auto VI goes on sale. Tip-off at Kaseya Center is 7 p.m. ET, with the game on ESPN nationally and on WPLG Local 10 in South Florida, according to the team's official Vice City page.
Fans can buy the Nike x Cactus Jack "Vice City" uniform that same night. The Heat's page says it is available for purchase on Nov. 18 at "A Night in Vice City," and Sports Illustrated reports the Swingman jersey and shorts will come in limited quantities. No price appears on the pages we read, so treat any number you see on social media as unconfirmed.
What does the Heat Vice City jersey look like?
Sports Illustrated's Jerseys On SI describes the first jersey as black with "Vice City" in neon pink script across the chest. Pink, white and black trim runs along the collar and sides. The Nike Air logo is upside down, a nod to Cactus Jack's design language, and the GTA VI logo sits on the other side of the chest.
The matching shorts are black with the same trim. An all-pink Heat logo with six stars, Cactus Jack branding and the NBA logo sits on the left leg, per the same report.
There is a second uniform too. The Heat's page lists a Nike x Cactus Jack Miami Heat uniform as "On Court Only," and SI says it keeps the HEAT wordmark with a grid pattern inside the letters and a Robinhood patch where the GTA VI logo would go. Outlets differ on small details of which logo lands on which jersey, so wait for the Heat's own product listing before you plan around one design.
What else is happening at Kaseya Center on Nov. 18?
The Heat and Rockstar Games announced the night on Oct. 2. The team says it will play on a one-night-only Vice City court, and the Heat's announcement calls the event a first-of-its-kind sports crossover.
Two fast-food brands from the game will have stands. Burger Shot is at sections 105, 120, 308 and 324, and Cluckin' Bell is at section 325, according to the Heat. The team says more game-night activities are still to be announced, and tickets are sold through Ticketmaster from the team's page.
Which Vice City gear can you buy right now?
The Court Culture Vice City collection has been at Miami Heat Store locations and online since Oct. 2. As of Nov. 6, the Heat's page lists a satin bomber jacket at $168, a New Era 9FIFTY snapback at $50, a Welcome to Vice City neon sign at $120, three oversized or pocket tees at $55 each and a crop top at $45. The team also has a sign-up page for the uniform drop.

Our take
This is a marketing play, and a good one. Rockstar gets a national ESPN window on the eve of its biggest launch, and Nike and Cactus Jack get a limited drop people will line up for. If you want the jersey, assume it will be easier to get in Miami than anywhere else, and expect resale prices to run well above whatever the retail tag turns out to be. That last part is our guess, not a reported fact.
We will update this story if the Heat post a price or an online release.
