Five games. Five different time zones. Twelve days. The 2026-27 Miami Heat Schedule opens at home against Minnesota on ESPN, but by the second week of November it sends the team on a genuine West Coast marathon — the Lakers, Clippers, Warriors, Kings, and Jazz, all on the road, none of it easy. This is also the first full season with Giannis Antetokounmpo in a Heat uniform after this offseason’s blockbuster trade, and the schedule-makers clearly noticed: Miami gets two national windows in its first three games alone.
