Miami opens the preseason Oct. 3 against the Toronto Raptors at the Videotron Centre in Quebec City as part of NBA Canada Games 2026. The game marks the first NBA preseason contest ever played in Quebec City.

The Heat then return home to host the New Orleans Pelicans on Oct. 8, the Minnesota Timberwolves on Oct. 10 and the Brooklyn Nets on Oct. 14 before wrapping up the preseason on the road against the Orlando Magic on Oct. 16.

The announcement comes after one of the most eventful offseasons in franchise history, during which the Heat acquired forwards Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis via trade with the Milwaukee Bucks in late June.

The pair were officially introduced by the team at Kaseya Center on July 16 and said they were eager to begin their new chapter in South Florida.

Miami will hold its annual media day Sept. 28 at Kaseya Center before opening training camp on Sept. 29.
