Landmark · Spotted GTA VI Trailer 1, December 2023 (building exterior); later GTA VI trailers (Sahara Arena name)
Sahara Arena
Vice City's basketball arena, confirmed under the name Sahara Arena in official GTA VI footage. Modeled on Miami's Kaseya Center, it is home to the Vice City Narcos, GTA 6's fictional basketball franchise.
The Sahara Arena is Vice City's main basketball venue, based on Miami's Kaseya Center. The building's exterior first appeared in GTA 6's December 2023 trailer, and later trailers introduced it under the Sahara Arena name, per Inven Global. The arena is home to the Vice City Narcos, GTA 6's fictional basketball franchise, with both names confirmed by Dexerto and Inven Global from official GTA VI footage. Outdoor basketball, showing Jason shooting on a court, appeared separately in the Extended Look on August 27 2026.
The launch marketing ties back to the arena's real-world model: on November 18 2026, the Miami Heat will host the Milwaukee Bucks as a one-night 'A Night in Vice City' event at Kaseya Center, with a Vice City court and reimagined uniforms, the night before GTA 6's November 19 release. The Sahara Arena's in-game interior, its role in missions or activities, and any basketball gameplay inside it are unconfirmed until launch.
