Watching Heat Games on Local Channels
The Miami Heat sit in the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale TV market. None of the upcoming games are on a channel that has a local station there, so every one of them needs a national network or a streaming pass.
Local stations in Miami-Ft. Lauderdale
| Network | Station | Services confirmed to carry it |
|---|---|---|
| ABC | WPLG 10 | DirecTV Stream, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, and YouTube TV |

These are the carriers our market data confirms, and it runs behind on smaller-market deals, so treat a missing service as unconfirmed rather than unavailable. Check your ZIP code with a service before you pay for a month. See local channels for more markets.
