The 2024–25 Miami Heat season was the 37th season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
On April 3, the Heat were locked in to a play-in berth following the Milwaukee Bucks' victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, but was the first season since 2018–19 with a sub-.500 campaign and they were unable to improve upon their 46–36 record from the previous season.
On April 18, the Heat became the first 10-seeded team to make the playoffs and clinched for the sixth season in a row, defeating the Chicago Bulls and the Atlanta Hawks in the Play-In Tournament to secure the eighth seed in the playoffs. However, the Heat were swept by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of the playoffs. This is the second time in four years that the Heat were swept in the playoffs since 2021, which was also in the first round against the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Miami Heat drew an average home attendance of 19,715, the 6th-highest of all NBA teams.https://www.espn.com/nba/attendance/_/year/2025/sort/homeTotal
