The HEAT and WPLG Local 10 today announced a newly expanded media rights agreement, making the South Florida station home of HEAT basketball during the 2026-27 season.
Beginning in October, Local 10 will air all non-nationally televised HEAT games on free, over-the-air television. This agreement allows millions of viewers across South Florida access to HEAT games throughout WPLG’s full broadcast reach. In addition, WPLG will provide Spanish language audio via Secondary Audio Programming (SAP).
“We’re very excited to be on Local 10 this upcoming season,” said Michael McCullough, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of the Miami HEAT. “Last season was a great experience not only for the HEAT and Local 10, but the fans as well. The increased viewership proved the strength of this partnership and the benefit of having the local reach of WPLG was unmistakable. We’re looking forward to taking this to the next level this upcoming season and giving HEAT Nation a truly special viewing experience.”
