Reports from April 2026 indicate the Golden State Warriors are planning to discuss a new contract extension with Stephen Curry this coming summer. While Curry previously signed a one-year, $62.6 million extension in August 2024 that keeps him under contract through the 2026–27 season, he is now eligible for a further extension of up to two additional seasons. Curry is eligible to sign a two-year extension this summer, which would potentially keep him in Golden State through the 2028–29 season.
Following a play-in tournament loss in April 2026, Curry expressed a desire to play "multiple" more seasons and confirmed interest in an extension, though formal talks had not yet begun.General Manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. has consistently stated the team's priority is for Curry to be a "Warrior for life". The 2024 extension made Curry the first player in NBA history to earn over $60 million in a single season.By the end of his current deal in 2027, Curry's career on-court earnings will reach approximately $532.7 million, joining LeBron James and Kevin Durant in the $500 million club.

Stephen Curry current contract status
As of April 2026, Stephen Curry is under contract with the Golden State Warriors through the 2026–27 season. He is currently playing under a four-year, $215.4 million maximum veteran extension signed in 2021. In August 2024, he added a one-year, $62.6 million extension to that deal, which was the maximum allowed at the time due to the NBA's "over-38" rule. Maintaining Curry’s "Warrior for Life" status has forced the front office into a difficult balancing act with the NBA's new "apron" rules.
