In major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada, a one-day contract is an employment contract between a team and a beloved former player who is about to retire and out of contract, in which the player symbolically rejoins the team for one day. The one-day contract provides a formal occasion for the player to announce their retirement and exchange thanks with teammates, management, and fans.
