MIAMI HEAT RED, WHITE & PINK GAME at Kaseya Center

The Miami HEAT Red, White & Pink Game returns as a community-friendly preseason showcase at Kaseya Center on Tuesday, October 6, 2026. Here is what to know about tickets, entry, parking, and how the night supports cancer care and research.

The Miami HEAT Red, White & Pink Game stands out because it turns Kaseya Center into a preseason preview with a clear community purpose. Scheduled for Tuesday, October 6, 2026, the open exhibition is listed at $10 per ticket, with revenue benefiting cancer care and research at Baptist Health Herbert Wertheim Cancer Institute. For anyone already headed downtown, the night is about seeing how the 2026 to 2027 roster is being presented while supporting a cause tied to breast cancer awareness.

Why this matchup matters

This event matters now because it is scheduled as an open exhibition at a time when the HEAT are using it to showcase the franchise’s 2026 to 2027 roster. It is also priced differently from a standard NBA game, with tickets listed at $10 and revenue directed to cancer care and research at Baptist Health Herbert Wertheim Cancer Institute. That mix of roster preview, low entry price, and charitable purpose gives the date a specific place on the calendar.

Where both teams stand

The Miami HEAT Red, White & Pink Game is scheduled for Tuesday, October 6, 2026 at Kaseya Center in Miami. It is listed as an open exhibition or intra-squad game, and it is tied to breast cancer awareness. Doors are set to open at 5:30 p.m., with the event scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m.

What to expect in Miami, FL

At Kaseya Center, expect a preseason style setting built around an intra-squad format rather than a standard regular season matchup. The event is scheduled with a $10 ticket price, a $5 parking option in the P2 Garage, and a limit of eight tickets per household, all of which point to a community centered night in downtown Miami.

With the game set, the rest of the night comes down to where you eat, freshen up, park, unwind, and stay around Biscayne Boulevard.
