NHL News: NHL, players ratify 4-year CBA extension with 84-game season reportedly on way

The National Hockey League and the NHL Players’ Association ratified on Tuesday a four-year extension to the collective bargaining agreement that will run through the 2029-30 season.

The two sides reached an agreement in principle on June 27 but votes of the full membership of the NHLPA and the league’s Board of Governors were required for ratification.

“The partnership between the Players’ Association and the League is stronger than it ever has been and working together under this agreement presents a fantastic opportunity to continue to grow the game,” NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said in a news release. “We are grateful to the Board of Governors for its support of this agreement that strengthens our game and ensures we are collectively delivering a great fan experience in the years to come.”

The previous CBA still had more than a year left until expiration.

The particulars of the CBA have not been released, but ESPN reported that under the new CBA, the season will be expanded from 82 to 84 games, with the elimination of two preseason games. That is expected to take effect with the 2026-27 season.

ESPN also reported the new CBA includes language that addresses topics such as shorter maximum contract lengths and eliminating a player dress code on game days.

“This CBA shows what can be accomplished when the NHL and the Union work together — an agreement that will allow for the continued worldwide growth of the game. That is a win for everyone,” said Marty Walsh, NHLPA executive director. “We could not have achieved this outcome without the involvement and support of our players.”
