About Miami Heat

The Miami Heat were founded in 1988, and by National Basketball Association standards that is a recent starting point for a franchise. Since then the club has been a Miami story. The city gives the team its name, the United States provides its setting, and basketball is the sport it plays.

Today the Miami Heat play at the Kaseya Center, an arena with room for 16,500 spectators, and the 2026/27 season is the campaign in view. Erik Spoelstra is the head coach. Three squad members have pages on this site: Giannis Antetokounmpo as a forward, Bam Adebayo at center and Klay Thompson as a guard. All of them play in the NBA, the league where the Heat's season unfolds.
