Game «VBA 2026: Saigon Heat vs Ho Chi Minh City Wings»

   The squeak of sneakers, the roar when a buzzer-beater drops through the net, and a full house up on its feet — basketball in Ho Chi Minh City knows how to hold you until the final horn. A big night of sport in the city pulls in everyone who loves pace, grit and a fight for every single point.

   In brief:
— Saigon Heat host their city rivals Ho Chi Minh City Wings

— home-arena atmosphere and live sound right off the court

   The home side, Saigon Heat, was founded in 2011 and became the first professional basketball team to represent Vietnam in the ASEAN Basketball League (ABL). In the history of Vietnam's VBA, the club lifted the championship trophy twice in a row — in the 2019 and 2020 seasons. Their opponents, Ho Chi Minh City Wings, arrive chasing a result, and a head-to-head between these two usually turns into a test of nerve.
