Who We Are
Founded in 2015, the Utah Player Association is the unified voice of Utah's professional and collegiate athletes — protecting their rights, expanding their opportunities, and building their futures.
Our Mission
UtahPA is a full-service player association committed to the complete well-being of Utah athletes. We negotiate on your behalf, provide critical resources, and build the infrastructure that lets athletes thrive — during their career and long after it ends.
We believe every athlete deserves fair treatment, quality healthcare, financial security, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the communities they call home.
Our Vision
A Utah where every athlete is empowered, protected, and celebrated — on and off the field.
Our Story
A group of 12 Utah athletes came together to form the state's first unified player association, initially representing athletes from the NBA, NFL, and MLB.
Membership grew to include athletes from 8 sports, and UtahPA secured its first major health coverage deal worth $5M in collective benefits.
UtahPA launched its pioneering Name, Image & Likeness program, helping Utah athletes generate over $10M in licensing revenue in its first two years.
Today UtahPA represents over 400 athletes across 12 sports, with $50M+ in secured benefits and a growing community impact footprint across the state.
