The Harrisburg Heat claim the heritage of an original Harrisburg Heat franchise that was a member of the National Professional Soccer League, which later became the Major Indoor Soccer League. On May 2, 2012, the Heat were awarded a PASL expansion franchise to begin with the 2012–13 season.
On January 24, 2014, the Heat announced they would relocate from the 2,200-seat Equine Arena at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex & Expo Center to the complex's 7,300-seat New Holland Arena (originally called the "Large Arena") starting with the 2014–15 season. The original Harrisburg Heat played their home matches at the Large Arena during their 12 seasons of existence. The team was scheduled to join the Indoor Professional League in 2016, but it was later announced that they had rejoined the MASL.
