The Baltimore Ravens and head coach John Harbaugh have reached a three-year contract extension, the team announced Friday.
Harbaugh was entering the final year of his contract. His new deal will keep him with Baltimore through the 2028 season, which would take him through his 21st season in charge of the Ravens.
Harbaugh has coached the Ravens since 2008 and is presently the league’s second-longest tenured head coach behind only Mike Tomlin of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Harbaugh is the Ravens’ all-time winningest coach, posting a 172-104 record over his first 17 seasons in Baltimore.
Harbaugh’s extension comes on the heels of a successful 2024 season that saw the Ravens post a 12-5 record. They won a second consecutive AFC North title and saw their offense blossom into one of the NFL’s best, with Lamar Jackson posting a second consecutive MVP-caliber season and helping the team rank first league-wide in offensive EPA.
However, the Ravens weren’t able to mount a Super Bowl run. The Buffalo Bills edged them 27-25 in the divisional round of the AFC playoffs.
Harbaugh will look to get back to the NFL’s biggest stage in 2025 as he takes aim at a second ring as a head coach. He won his first Super Bowl in 2013, when he led Baltimore to a win in Super Bowl 47 against the San Francisco 49ers – then coached by his brother Jim Harbaugh.
