Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors have agreed to extend his contract for the 2026-27 season, one in which the NBA’s all-time three-point leader and Olympic gold medalist will earn nearly $63m.

Curry’s agent, Jeff Austin with Octagon, confirmed the agreement on Thursday to the Associated Press. ESPN first reported the agreement between Curry and the Warriors.

Curry is now guaranteed about $178m for the next three seasons; about $55.8m for this season, about $59.6m for 2025-26 and now about $62.6m – the most the Warriors could offer by league rule – for 2026-27.

When that season ends, Curry’s on-court earnings will have reached about $532m, which for now ranks as second-most in NBA history behind only LeBron James’ $580m in player contracts.

The 36-year-old Curry is entering his 16th NBA season, all of them with the Warriors. He’s a 10-time All-Star and 10-time All-NBA selection, has been part of four championships with Golden State and is a two-time MVP. This summer, he also played for the US team that won Olympic gold at the Paris Games, including a dazzling fourth-quarter display to help the Americans beat France in the title game.

He averaged 26.4 points for the Warriors last season, and has averaged 24.8 points in his regular-season career.
