Updated: November 5, 2026, 11:27 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC−05:00; Toronto).
The Miami Heat and Golden State Warriors are scheduled to meet at Chase Center in San Francisco on Thursday, November 5. The listed tipoff is 7:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time (PST, UTC−08:00), or 10:00 p.m. EST (UTC−05:00) in Toronto. Canadian TV listings show TSN5 for the matchup, and the TSN+ event schedule also lists the game. The scheduled start time has passed as of this update, so use the NBA game page or TSN schedule to check whether the broadcast is still live or has moved to replay coverage.
The choice of service matters: NBA.com lists NBA TV in its matchup details, but that does not tell Canadian viewers which local feed to select. The NBA also says nationally broadcast games are blacked out live on League Pass in Canada; replays become available a few hours after the broadcast ends. Check TSN5 or TSN+ first, then use NBA’s Watch or Tap to Watch option to confirm the feed available for your location.
The NBA lists the game at Chase Center in San Francisco for Thursday, November 5, at 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time. San Francisco is on PST (UTC−08:00) on that date, so the venue tipoff is 7:00 p.m. PST. The same instant is 3:00 a.m. UTC on Friday, November 6. The date stays November 5 in the Canadian cities below.
| City | Scheduled tipoff | Time zone and UTC offset |
|---|---|---|
| San Francisco, California | Thursday, November 5, 7:00 p.m. | PST (UTC−08:00) |
| Vancouver, British Columbia | Thursday, November 5, 8:00 p.m. | PCT (UTC−07:00) |
| Calgary, Alberta | Thursday, November 5, 9:00 p.m. | ABT (UTC−06:00) |
| Winnipeg, Manitoba | Thursday, November 5, 10:00 p.m. | MBT (UTC−05:00) |
| Toronto, Ontario | Thursday, November 5, 10:00 p.m. | EST (UTC−05:00) |
| Halifax, Nova Scotia | Thursday, November 5, 11:00 p.m. | AST (UTC−04:00) |
| St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador | Thursday, November 5, 11:30 p.m. | NST (UTC−03:30) |
| UTC | Friday, November 6, 3:00 a.m. | UTC (UTC+00:00) |
These are city examples, not a single clock for each province. The 2026 daylight-saving changes affect the conversion: most of British Columbia now uses year-round Pacific Time (PCT, UTC−07:00), Alberta uses Alberta Time (ABT, UTC−06:00), and Manitoba uses Manitoba Standard Time (MBT, UTC−05:00). Those provinces did not turn clocks back on November 1. California and Ontario did return to standard time, so Vancouver is two hours behind Toronto for this game, while Calgary and Toronto are one hour apart. Local exceptions exist near provincial and time-zone boundaries, so use your city rather than assuming one offset for all of Canada.
Current Canadian TV listings identify TSN5 for Heat vs. Warriors, and the TSN+ schedule lists an online event. TSN5 may not be included in every TV package, and TSN+ access depends on subscription terms. Check the TSN schedule and your provider’s channel guide before opening a stream.
The NBA game page names NBA TV in its broadcast field. Treat that as the league’s listed feed, not proof that a U.S. channel number or subscription works in Canada. The NBA’s official game page has Watch, box score, game charts, and play-by-play links. Its 2026–27 viewing guide explains Tap to Watch, which directs fans to the available telecast through the NBA App, NBA.com, team platforms, and participating partners.
Prime Video carries selected NBA games in Canada beginning with the 2026–27 season, but it is not the home of every matchup. The Canadian listings checked for this game point to TSN, so a Prime membership by itself does not confirm access. Search the specific game in the app before relying on it.
Possibly not. The NBA Help Center says League Pass blackouts in Canada apply to nationally broadcast games. For a blacked-out game, it lists national broadcasters such as TSN, Sportsnet, CTV, RDS, or Prime Video as live options; it says the League Pass replay becomes available a few hours after the live broadcast ends. Because the Canadian listings point to TSN, check the NBA’s blackout guide and the Canadian broadcast schedule before assuming League Pass will provide the live picture.
If you only need updates, the NBA game center is the simplest second screen. Its box score shows the official totals and player statistics, while play-by-play records each possession. At the time of this update, the scheduled tip time has passed; refresh the official page to confirm the current game clock or final result rather than relying on a pregame listing.
The pregame schedule context was different for each side. Reuters reported that Miami was playing the second straight night on the road and the third stop of a five-game Western swing, while Golden State had a scheduling break. That is useful context when following the game, but it does not determine the result. If the Warriors win, they add a home victory; if the Heat win, they take a road result during a demanding trip. Either outcome changes the teams’ records by one game, not the long-term playoff picture on its own.
For Canadian viewers, the practical consequence is immediate: confirm the local TSN feed and time zone before the next game-day listing, and use the official box score after the final buzzer. This guide does not state a score because the final was not confirmed at the time of this update.
Current Canadian listings point to TSN5, with the game also listed on TSN+. Confirm access in your TV package or TSN+ schedule.
