As a Miami Heat fan, I know the importance of catching every game throughout the season without being tied to a cable subscription. Let me share my knowledge about the essential channels needed to stream Heat games and the best ways to access them.

In a hurry? Leave the in-depth guide for later and give these online streaming providers a try today. They all allow you to watch the Miami Heats live:

Fubo
Fubo

Known for its outstanding sports coverage, Fubo’s 150+ live TV channels provide a broad selection that appeals to most people. Fubo allows you to try out its service with a free trial.

DIRECTV STREAM
DIRECTV STREAM

The king of RSNs, this is the streaming service for MLB, NBA, and NHL fans with its Choice Plan. New customers get a 5-day free trial with DIRECTV STREAM.

If you can’t watch your favorite sports because of your location, get ExpressVPN to access the content you deserve.

Note for viewing from : streaming platforms like Fubo or Sling TV limit access to US viewers, but combining your existing subscription with a VPN enables streaming from anywhere in the world.

ExpressVPN is my #1 choice because it’s easy to set up, super reliable, and works perfectly with these streaming services. You get access to US content through their servers in 25+ US cities, plus 3 free months and a 30-day refund if you’re not happy.

You’ll have access to local platforms as if you were in the country, as well as access to services like BBC iPlayer as if you were in the UK, CBC Gem as if you were in Canada, plus hundreds more worldwide.

Online streaming is similar to cable, except it’s cheaper, doesn’t have a contract, and comes with more options. You can use streaming services to watch any team in the NBA.

The following sections will tell you more about how to get a Miami Heat game livestream. Keep reading to learn how you can ditch cable and watch the Miami Heat online.

What Channel is the Miami Heat on?

All NBA teams air most of their games through their local regional sports network (RSN).

When it comes to the Miami Heat, the majority of their games air on Bally Sports Sun, available via DIRECTV STREAM and Fubo. Out-of-market fans, who are outside Bally Sports Sun’s coverage region, have different options – the most popular one is probably NBA League Pass, which is also available from Fubo and DIRECTV STREAM.

Some nationwide channels let fans watch NBA games: NBA TV, TNT, ABC, and ESPN. During the Miami Heat’s 2023-24 season, they will be featured on 24 national broadcasts:

  • ABC: 2 games.
  • ESPN: 8 games.
  • NBA TV: 8 games.
  • TNT: 6 games.

Our Choice

After checking out all the options, Fubo stood out as the best way to catch Miami Heat games. It’s got all the big channels like Bally Sports Sun, ESPN, and ABC, so you never miss a game. The streaming is super reliable, even during live games, and the interface is easy to navigate – no fumbling around when the clock’s ticking. The 1,000-hour cloud DVR is a lifesaver for saving games to watch later, and it works great on pretty much any device. Other services, like DIRECTV STREAM, were solid but didn’t offer the same mix of channels, DVR space, and overall ease of use. If you’re serious about following the Heat, Fubo just makes the most sense.
