NHL and the NHLPA ratify their CBA extension through 2030

LOS ANGELES, JUL 8 – The agreement includes an 84-game regular season and contract changes to secure labor peace and avoid past work stoppages, NHL officials said.

  • In Los Angeles, the NHL Board of Governors and NHLPA ratified a four-year CBA extension through the 2029-30 season.
  • Drawing on the sport’s labor history, past lockouts like 2004-05 spurred the recent four-year deal reached in June to avoid work stoppages and ensure stability.
  • The NHL's new CBA includes an 84-game schedule, contracts capped at seven years for re-signings, and a playoff salary cap, ensuring financial and operational stability through 2030.
  • Immediately, teams and agents can proceed with off-season plans without concern for stoppages until 2029-30, as revenues hit a record $6.6 billion, benefiting players and clubs.
  • Looking forward, the four-year CBA extension from 2026-30 signals improved labor relations and growth potential for the NHL worldwide.
