NHL and Players Union Lock In 4-Year Deal—But What’s Hidden in the New CBA?
The NHL and NHL Players Association announced Friday that the two sides have agreed to an extension to the collective bargaining agreement, ensuring labor peace through at least 2030.
League team owners and NHL players still need to vote on the deal before the agreement can be officially ratified.

The four-year extension will begin Sept. 16, 2026 — the day after the current agreement expires — and will run until Sept. 15, 2030.
“While we didn’t agree on everything, we had a very constructive, professional, collaborative collective-bargaining process,” NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said during a Friday news conference. “I think we identified the issues that were important to both sides and I think that [NHLPA executive director] Marty [Walsh] and I have established a very good tone and a very good basis for our relationship going forward.”
