Game-Day Trains Bring Fans to MiamiCentral, a Short Walk from Kaseya Center
Miami, FL (Oct. 19, 2026) — With Miami HEAT basketball returning to Kaseya Center, Brightline, the intercity rail service connecting South and Central Florida, is bringing back Buzzer Beater, its game-day train service offering fans a convenient way to attend home games throughout the 2026–27 season. The HEAT open their 2026–27 regular season at home against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday, Oct. 21, at 7:30 p.m.
The Buzzer Beater connects fans traveling from Orlando, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale and Aventura to Brightline's MiamiCentral Station, just a 15-minute walk from Kaseya Center. With trains timed around game nights, fans can leave the driving and downtown parking hassles behind and focus on cheering for their team.
“With Buzzer Beater fans can skip the traffic, arrive on time, and focus on cheering on the Miami HEAT,” said Krystal Ritter, Director of Partnerships. “There’s nothing like experiencing a Miami HEAT game in person, and with Buzzer Beater, the game-day experience begins the moment you step on board, making travel easy and stress-free."
Fans can purchase snacks and drinks onboard, while Brightline’s PREMIUM service offers wider seats with extra legroom, complimentary food and beverages, and access to station lounges.
