According to sources, the new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) and the NBA has been signed and shared with all 30 NBA teams. The extensive 676-page agreement is set to take effect on July 1, spanning through the 2029-2030 season.
The CBA outlines the terms and conditions of employment for professional basketball players in the NBA, defining the rights and obligations of the NBA Clubs, the NBA itself, and the NBPA. Ratified by the NBPA membership in April 2023, this current agreement is slated to run through the 2029-30 NBA season, with a mutual opt-out option for both sides following the 2028-29 season.
In a letter addressed to players, the NBPA highlighted that the new CBA is expected to provide a projected $250 million collective increase in salaries and benefits for the upcoming season. With a new TV deal anticipated in 2025 and the potential for additional revenue streams, there is an optimistic outlook that the league could generate $50 billion in salaries and benefits over the course of the 7-year agreement.
The finalized CBA signifies a commitment to the continued growth and development of the NBA, ensuring players receive fair compensation and maintaining a balance between the league and its players. As the new CBA takes effect, players and fans eagerly anticipate the positive impact it will have on the sport and its stakeholders in the coming years.
