We cover here the present state-of-the-art in constraining the nuclear equation-of-state (EoS) and the symmetry energy using heavy-ion collisions (HIC), from sub- to supra-saturation densities, from Fermi to (ultra-) relativistic beam energies. We also discuss how HIC constraints on the EoS contribute to the knowledge of thermodynamical properties of neutron star matter. Necessary improvements and challenges are outlined, in particular in the perspective, for HICs, of staying competitive with future astrophysical multimessenger observations.
