The Utah Jazz have officially signed head coach Will Hardy to a multi-year contract extension through the 2031 season.
Announcing the deal, Jazz governor Ryan Smith praised Hardy’s impact on the organization both on and off the court.
“We are excited to extend Will Hardy’s contract as head coach of the Utah Jazz through 2031.
Will is an incredible leader, great communicator – especially with our younger players – and a strong ambassador for this franchise. He has been a tremendous partner to Danny, Justin, and me. There is no one we would rather have leading us to our ultimate goal of winning an NBA championship here in Utah,” said Smith.
Hardy is set to enter his fourth season with the Jazz in 2025–26. He became the ninth head coach in franchise history and the sixth since the team relocated to Salt Lake City in 1979, when he was hired in 2022. Notably, Hardy is the first head coach appointed since the Smith family acquired the team in December 2020.
