NFL owners have agreed to a four-year contract extension for Commissioner Roger Goodell, keeping him in the position through the 2030 season, the league announced Sunday.

Goodell’s new contract will expire on March 31, 2031. His previous agreement was scheduled to run through March 2027, meaning the extension adds four additional seasons to his tenure.

Goodell has served as NFL commissioner since 2006, when he succeeded Paul Tagliabue. The latest agreement marks his fifth contract extension with the league, following previous extensions in 2009, 2012, 2017 and 2023.

The extension comes with several major issues on the league’s horizon. The NFL and NFL Players Association will eventually negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement, with the current CBA running through the 2030 season. The league is also preparing for future media-rights discussions and continuing its international expansion.

Goodell’s tenure has included the expansion of the NFL’s international presence, increased attention to player safety and the league’s handling of the 2020 season during the COVID-19 pandemic. The NFL has also expanded its media partnerships and streaming options during his time as commissioner.

The league is entering another period of expansion, with international games scheduled in Australia and Brazil during the 2026 season. The NFL has also continued to discuss potential changes to the regular-season schedule, including the possibility of an 18-game season.

Goodell, 67, will now remain commissioner through the end of the 2030 season under the new agreement, extending his tenure to more than two decades at the league’s helm.
